CVE-2024-0259

What is CVE-2024-0259?

The Robot Schedule Enterprise Agent, a product by Fortra, is vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue that affects versions prior to 3.04. This vulnerability allows a low-privileged user to overwrite the service executable. Upon restarting the service, the compromised executable executes with local system privileges. This situation can lead to unauthorized access and control over the system, enabling the user to perform actions that require elevated permissions. It is crucial for users to update to the latest version to mitigate the risk associated with this vulnerability.
