Technical details

A race condition (CWE-362) exists in the Ivanti Secure Access Client for Windows prior to version 22.8R6. The vulnerability occurs during concurrent execution using shared resources with improper synchronization, allowing a locally authenticated attacker with low privileges to exploit a timing window to execute code with SYSTEM-level authority. The attack requires local access to the target machine but no user interaction. Ivanti has released version 22.8R6 to address this issue.
