The following inventory agent and inventory beacon
hotfix has been made available for download through the P
roduct and License Center. This hotfix is for
a potential vulnerability that exists in FlexNet inventory agent and inventory beacon versions 2020 R2.5 and earlier installations on Microsoft Windows. The vulnerability can potentially allow locally authenticated users to modify otherwise restricted files. The gain of further local privileges has not been reported. However, out of an abundance of caution, Flexera will not rule this out.
