Zoho ManageEngine Asset Explorer 6.5 does not validate the System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) database username when dynamically generating a command to schedule scans for SCCM. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the AssetExplorer Server with NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM privileges.

Exploit prediction

5.97% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days, higher than 93% of all scored CVEs (FIRST EPSS, 2026-11-08).
