Summary

Tanium Threat Response versions from 4.9 before 4.9.480, from 4.12 before 4.12.353, and from 4.17 before 4.17.333 are affected. An improper neutralization of special elements used in an OS command (CWE-78) allows unauthorized code execution. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this without user interaction, though the attack complexity is high, and successful exploitation can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity and availability.
