What is CVE-2026-4482?

The installer certificate files located in the …/bootstrap/common/ssl directory on Windows systems lack appropriate restrictions on access permissions, allowing local users to read and execute these files. In particular, the client.key file may expose sensitive agent identity information to any standard user with local access. This misconfiguration poses a risk as it can facilitate unauthorized exploitation of user credentials and compromise system integrity. Ensuring proper access controls is crucial to securing these files and safeguarding sensitive data.
