CVE-2026-82893
HighCVSS 7.8Summary
IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges due to improper privilege management. The flaw enables privilege escalation on the system.
Risk Assessment
A local attacker could obtain higher privileges, potentially leading to system takeover and data compromise. The risk is high if the attacker already has access to the system.
Recommendation
Update IBM Guardium Data Protection 12.2 to a patched version and review privilege management mechanisms.
