CVE-2025-0889 describes a high-severity privilege escalation vulnerability affecting BeyondTrust Privilege Management for Windows prior to version 25.2. A local authenticated attacker can exploit this flaw by manipulating COM objects, leading to full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability if an EPM policy permits automatic privilege elevation.
