CVE-2026-35099
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedLakeside SysTrack Agent 11 before 11.5.0.15 has a race condition with resultant local privilege escalation to SYSTEM. The fixed versions are 11.2.1.28, 11.3.0.38, 11.4.0.24, and 11.5.0.15.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceLakeside SysTrack Agent before version 11.5.0.15 contains a race condition vulnerability that can be exploited to achieve local privilege escalation to SYSTEM level. The vulnerability requires local access but enables an authenticated attacker to escalate privileges beyond their assigned permissions. Fixed versions are available across all supported branches.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Verify SysTrack Agent is installedCheck for SysTrack Agent installation on the system using standard software inventory tools, Program Files directory, or registry keys related to Lakeside productsAffected if SysTrack Agent is present on the system
-
Identify installed SysTrack versionUse system inventory tools, check the installed software list, or query the SysTrack Agent directly for its version numberAffected if The version returned is earlier than 11.5.0.15, or falls in the ranges 11.2.x before 11.2.1.28, 11.3.x before 11.3.0.38, or 11.4.x before 11.4.0.24
-
Confirm the agent service is runningVerify that the SysTrack Agent service or process is active on the system, as the race condition requires the vulnerable code path to be executingAffected if The agent service is running on an affected version
-
Check for available version branchesDetermine which version branch (11.2, 11.3, 11.4, or 11.5) is installed by examining the full version stringAffected if The installed branch version is below its respective fix (11.2.1.28, 11.3.0.38, 11.4.0.24, or 11.5.0.15)
The environment is affected if SysTrack Agent is installed with a version prior to 11.5.0.15 (or below the relevant branch fix) and the agent service is actively running, enabling a local authenticated attacker to exploit the race condition for SYSTEM privilege escalation.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpdate the SysTrack Agent to one of the fixed versions (11.2.1.28, 11.3.0.38, 11.4.0.24, or 11.5.0.15) depending on the current branch in use. Prioritize higher CVSS environments given the privilege escalation to SYSTEM.
Lakeside SysTrack Agent 11.5.0.15 (or latest version in your current branch: 11.2.1.28, 11.3.0.38, or 11.4.0.24)
- 1. Identify the current version of Lakeside SysTrack Agent 11 installed on the system
- 2. If the current version is before 11.2.1.28, plan upgrade to version 11.5.0.15
- 3. If the current version is between 11.2.1.28 and 11.3.0.37, upgrade to version 11.3.0.38
- 4. If the current version is between 11.3.0.38 and 11.4.0.23, upgrade to version 11.4.0.24
- 5. If the current version is between 11.4.0.24 and 11.5.0.14, upgrade to version 11.5.0.15
- 6. Obtain the upgrade package from the official Lakeside Software vendor channels
- 7. Apply the upgrade following standard deployment procedures
- 8. Verify the installation was successful and the version is now at or above the fixed version for your branch
