hol-guard supply-chain scanLocal privilege escalation in Symantec ITMS affects Broadcom/Symantec Management Suite (generic). Severity is medium. A non-administrator interactive user can obtain full SYSTEM code execution through a DCOM/task scheduler logic chain — no network access, no memory corruption required (ITMS 8.7.3)
AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in generic. A medium vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
