CVE-1999-1147: Buffer overflow in Platinum Policy Compliance Manager (PCM) 7.0 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrar...

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a legacy remote command execution risk in Platinum Policy Compliance Manager 7.0. A reachable PCM Agent service could be crashed or abused through an oversized input, potentially letting an attacker run commands. Evidence is old and sparse, but any exposed installation should be treated seriously. Exposure is likely limited to organizations still running Platinum PCM 7.0 or related agents with port 1827 reachable. Internet exposure would increase urgency. Most modern environments are unlikely to have this legacy product unless retained for old management workflows. Prioritize quickly if PCM 7.0 is present, especially if Agent port 1827 is reachable beyond a tightly controlled management network. If the product is absent, no direct action is needed beyond documenting the inventory result. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems for Platinum PCM 7.0 and smaxagent.exe.; Restrict Agent port 1827 to trusted management networks only.; Block external access to affected hosts at network boundaries..
