CVE-2015-4045 describes a local privilege escalation vulnerability in AlienVault OSSIM before version 5.0.1, specifically within the asset discovery scanner's sudoers file. An attacker with high privileges (PR:H) could craft an Nmap script to gain elevated access, leading to high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Despite its medium CVSS v3 score of 6.7, there is no known public exploit code (Metasploit, Nuclei, ExploitDB), and it has received minimal community discussion or media coverage, indicating a low exploitation risk.
