This vulnerability is an origin validation flaw in the Apex One/SEP agent. It allows a local attacker, who already has the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system, to escalate their privileges. The issue exists in a specific inter-process communication mechanism and is similar to another vulnerability identified as CVE-2026-34927.
