first spoke of it: An Incorrect File Handling Permission bug exists on the N-central Windows Agent and Probe that, in the right circumstances, can allow a local low-level user to run commands with elevated permissions.

NVD

An Incorrect File Handling Permission bug exists on the N-central Windows Agent and Probe that, in the right circumstances, can allow a local low-level user to run commands with elevated permissions.

What it is to other things

affects	n-able/n-central NVD
made_by	n-able NVD

In words only, so not counted until a person confirms one:

made_by	`n_able` NVD says “N-able”
affects	`n_able/n_central` NVD says “N-able · N-central”

Every value, with what each source said and its receipt

Property Source Said Means here

Automatable

automatable

NVD

At least one of those steps needs a person.
