Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
Altiris WMI provider (affected versions not specified)
Description
The Altiris WMI provider contains a flaw in the
AltirisAgent Stream class that allows a local standard user to read files accessible to the SYSTEM account, bypassing filesystem Access Control Lists (ACLs). This occurs because the provider reverts to the LocalSystem context when processing WMI queries instead of re-impersonating the caller. Consequently, users can access sensitive data such as configuration files, service logs, and secrets restricted to SYSTEM or Administrator accounts.Recommendations
At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
