CVE-2024-51448

MEDIUM CVSS: 6.7 Published: 2025-01-18 Modified: 2026-06-17

Description

IBM Robotic Process Automation 21.0.0 through 21.0.7.17 and 23.0.0 through 23.0.18 could allow a local user to escalate their privileges. All files in the install inherit the file permissions of the parent directory and therefore a non-privileged user can substitute any executable for the nssm.exe service. A subsequent service or server restart will then run that binary with administrator privilege.

Affected Platforms

Ibm Robotic Process Automation

Weakness Type

CWE-277, CWE-732
