CVSS v3.1
Official Description
A missing authorization check in multiple SOAP endpoints of the Insider Threat Management Server enables an attacker on an adjacent network to read and write unauthorized objects. Successful exploitation requires an attacker to first obtain a valid agent authentication token. All versions before 7.14.3 are affected.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-35998 requires adjacent network access, limiting remote exploitation but still posing risk in shared or local network environments.
Exploitation requires low privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
