CVE-2024-51459: IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7 privilege escalation vulnerability allows local users to execute privileged commands. This is due to the improper handling of permissions within the software. While the CVSS score is 8.4, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) is 74, indicating a high, but not critical, risk that should be addressed promptly. A local attacker could exploit this flaw to gain elevated system privileges.
