What is CVE-2024-27275?

The local privilege escalation vulnerability in IBM i affects versions 7.2 to 7.5 and originates from a flaw in insufficient authority requirements. This vulnerability allows a local user without administrative privileges to configure a physical file trigger that can execute with the permissions of a user who has been socially engineered to access the file. The recommended correction involves requiring administrator privileges to configure trigger support, thereby mitigating the risk of unauthorized access and potential exploitation.
