CVE-2026-20755: Escalation of Privilege in LLM Scaler software
Protection mechanism failure for some LLM Scaler software within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires passive user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability in LLM Scaler software is caused by a failure in protection mechanisms within Ring 3 user applications, enabling an escalation of privilege. An attacker with local access, possessing unprivileged software combined with a privileged user, may exploit this vulnerability through a low complexity attack that requires only passive user interaction. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.4, indicating medium severity, and affects confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the vulnerable system at a high level. There is no information on affected versions or available patches, and no known exploits in the wild.
Potential Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to escalate privileges on the affected system, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability at a high level within the vulnerable system. However, the vulnerability does not extend to subsequent impacts beyond the vulnerable system itself. The attack requires local access, a privileged user context, and passive user interaction.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official fix or workaround information is currently available. Monitor vendor communications for updates on patches or mitigations.
