The high-privileged service SE3Recovery (EmergencyRecoveryService.exe), running as SYSTEM, periodically monitors the directory %ProgramData%\\ServerEye3\\update\\ for a trigger file named \"update_available\". Due to insufficient access restrictions on this directory, a local standard user can create the trigger file and provide a path to a directory containing malicious JSON instructions. The service subsequently executes the utility UpdaterAction.exe with SYSTEM privileges, which parses the instructions and performs an unvalidated file copy from a user-controlled source to a protected system destination (e.g., overwriting a service binary). This leads to full system compromise as the service automatically restarts the overwritten binary with SYSTEM privileges.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":8.8,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-12","score":0.00137,"percentile":0.03186,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-269","CWE-379","CWE-73"],"published":"2026-07-22T09:42:34Z","modified":"2026-10-24T17:10:00Z","products":[{"vendor":"servereye gmbh","product":"servereye windows agent (sensorhub)"}],"references":[{"url":"https://www.servereye.de/security-bulletins/2026-001/","tags":["vendor-advisory"]},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-14551"},{"url":"https://www.servereye.de/security-bulletins/2026-001"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-fc5x-r66h-vp5f"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2026-14551","title":"Local Privilege Escalation in servereye client (sensorhub)","description":"The servereye client (also known as sensorhub, technically ClientAgentContainerService) versions 20.15 and earlier are vulnerable to Local Privilege Escalation.
