Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify if Tanium Patch Endpoint Tools is installed
    Check for TaniumPatch or related Tanium service processes running on the system, or look for Tanium installation directories (typically under C:\Program Files\Tanium\Tanium Patch or similar paths on Windows, or /opt/Tanium/ on Linux)
    Affected if Tanium Patch Endpoint Tools software is present on the system
  2. Determine the installed version of Tanium Patch Endpoint Tools
    Check the product version information - this is typically available in the Windows Add/Remove Programs list, the Tanium client interface, or version files within the Tanium installation directory
    Affected if The installed version falls within any of these ranges: >= 3.17 and < 3.17.10195; >= 10.1 and < 10.1.33; >= 10.2 and < 10.2.22
  3. Identify if Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution is installed
    Check for Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset components or related services, or look for this toolset in the Tanium module list if accessible
    Affected if Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution is present on the system
  4. Determine the installed version of Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset
    Check the product version for the Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution - typically available through Tanium console, installed module list, or version metadata in the Tanium directory
    Affected if The installed version is less than 1.40.37
  5. Verify local authenticated access exists
    This vulnerability requires an authenticated local attacker. Confirm whether untrusted local user accounts exist on the system with access to the Tanium environment
    Affected if Untrusted or low-privilege local user accounts have access to the system where Tanium software is running

A system is affected if Tanium Patch Endpoint Tools version is 3.17.x up to 3.17.10194, 10.1.x up to 10.1.32, or 10.2.x up to 10.2.21; OR Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution is version 1.40.36 or lower, and the system has local user accounts that could exploit the privilege escalation.

Recommended fix High confidence

Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution >= 1.40.37; Patch Endpoint Tools >= 3.17.10195 (3.x branch), >= 10.1.33 (10.1.x branch), or >= 10.2.22 (10.2.x branch)

  1. 1. Identify the currently installed version of Tanium Patch Endpoint Tools or Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution on the affected system
  2. 2. Determine which product and version branch is in use (Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution, or Patch Endpoint Tools version 3.x, 10.1.x, or 10.2.x)
  3. 3. For Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution: upgrade to version 1.40.37 or later
  4. 4. For Patch Endpoint Tools version 3.x: upgrade to version 3.17.10195 or later
  5. 5. For Patch Endpoint Tools version 10.1.x: upgrade to version 10.1.33 or later
  6. 6. For Patch Endpoint Tools version 10.2.x: upgrade to version 10.2.22 or later
  7. 7. Verify the upgrade was successful by confirming the installed version matches or exceeds the minimum fixed version
  8. 8. Test that Patch Endpoint Tools functionality operates normally after the upgrade
