Summary

Tanium Endpoint Configuration Toolset Solution from 1.51.0 before 1.51.60, from 1.59.0 before 1.59.50 and from 1.71.0 before 1.71.25 is affected. Improper link resolution (CWE-59) lets a local attacker redirect file access before a file is opened. A local attacker with low privileges can affect the confidentiality and integrity of files, though the attack is highly complex.
