CVE-2025-65117
HighSummary
The vulnerability, if exploited, could allow an authenticated miscreant (Process Optimization Designer User) to embed OLE objects into graphics, and escalate their privileges to the identity of a victim user who subsequently interacts with the graphical elements.
Risk Assessment
An attacker could impersonate a victim, potentially leading to unauthorized actions in the system.
Recommendation
It is recommended to restrict user privileges and implement protections against OLE object embedding.
