Ibm · Ibm Qradar Wincollect Agent · CVE-2023-38736
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
IBM QRadar WinCollect Agent versions 10.0 through 10.1.6
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient access control in the IBM QRadar WinCollect Agent, which can be exploited by a remote attacker to elevate their privileges. A normal user could utilize this vulnerability to gain SYSTEM permissions when the agent is installed to run as ADMIN or SYSTEM.
**Recommendations**
For IBM QRadar WinCollect Agent versions 10.0 through 10.1.6, consider restricting the agent's privileges to prevent a local escalation of privilege attack until a patch is available.
