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 · moderate confidenceIdira Endpoint Privilege Manager Linux Agent versions prior to 26.5 contain a vulnerability during agent daemon initialization that allows a local attacker to potentially compromise the daemon. The CVSS 7.8 score indicates high severity likely due to local privilege escalation or integrity impact.

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.
-
Identify if Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager Linux Agent is installedLook for the agent daemon process running on the system, typically identifiable via process name related to 'Idira' or 'Endpoint Privilege Manager' or through system service listings (systemctl list-units, ps aux).Affected if The agent daemon process is found running on the system.
-
Determine the installed agent versionQuery the installed package or binary version using the system's package manager (dpkg, rpm) or by running the agent binary with version flags (e.g., --version) if available.Affected if The installed version number is lower than 26.5.0.
-
Verify the daemon is active and enabledCheck if the Idira agent service is active and enabled at boot using service management commands (systemctl status <service-name>, chkconfig, or similar).Affected if The daemon is running (active) and set to start at boot (enabled).
The environment is affected if the Idira Endpoint Privilege Manager Linux Agent is installed, running as a daemon, and the version is below 26.5.0.
