IBM Storage Scale GUI 5.1.9.0 through 5.1.9.6 and 5.2.0.0 through 5.2.1.1
contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with command line access to the scalemgmt user can elevate privileges to gain root access to the host operating system.
The product performs an operation at a privilege level that is higher than the minimum level required, which creates new weaknesses or amplifies the consequences of other weaknesses.
