A path traversal in the Control-M/Agent can lead to a local privilege escalation when an attacker has access to the system running the Agent. This vulnerability impacts the out-of-support Control-M/Agent versions 9.0.18 to 9.0.20 and potentially earlier unsupported versions. This vulnerability was fixed in 9.0.20.100 and above.
The vulnerability classified as CWE-23 (path traversal) allows an attacker with local system access to manipulate file paths in a way that extends beyond the intended application working directory. Through appropriately crafted path references, the attacker can gain access to resources or perform operations with the permissions of the Control-M/Agent process, leading to local privilege escalation.
An attacker with local access to the system can escalate their privileges, potentially gaining control over the operating system — which includes high confidentiality, integrity, and availability of both local resources and related systems.
BMC Control-M/Agent should be updated to version 9.0.20.100 or newer, in which the vulnerability has been fixed. Details are available in the manufacturer's knowledge base articles under references: sfdcid=000441969 and sfdcid=000442099.
