STEngine.exe 3.5.0.20 in Novell ZENworks Endpoint Security Management (ESM) 3.5, and other ESM versions before 3.5.0.82, dynamically creates scripts in a world-writable directory when generating diagnostic reports, which allows local users to gain privileges, as demonstrated by creating a cmd.exe binary in the diagnostic report directory.

A privileged escalation vulnerability has been identified in Micro Focus ZENworks Configuration Management, affecting version 2020 Update 1 and all prior versions. The vulnerability could be exploited to gain unauthorized system privileges.
