The casrvc program in CA Common Services, as used in CA Client Automation 12.8, 12.9, and 14.0; CA SystemEDGE 5.8.2 and 5.9; CA Systems Performance for Infrastructure Managers 12.8 and 12.9; CA Universal Job Management Agent 11.2; CA Virtual Assurance for Infrastructure Managers 12.8 and 12.9; CA Workload Automation AE 11, 11.3, 11.3.5, and 11.3.6 on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, and Solaris allows local users to modify arbitrary files and consequently gain root privileges via vectors related to insufficient validation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This vulnerability lets a local user on affected Unix-like systems abuse CA Common Services casrvc to change arbitrary files, which can lead to root-level control. Business urgency is highest where legacy CA infrastructure, automation, or workload products still run on AIX, HP-UX, Linux, or Solaris. Exposure is most likely in older enterprise environments running CA Client Automation, SystemEDGE, Systems Performance for Infrastructure Managers, Universal Job Management Agent, Virtual Assurance, or Workload Automation AE with CA Common Services on supported Unix-like platforms. Treat as high priority for legacy CA estate owners. It is not described as remotely exploitable, but successful abuse can convert limited local access into root control on systems often tied to monitoring, infrastructure management, or job automation. Mitigation focus: Identify systems running the affected CA products and versions named in the CVE description.; Check the CA/Broadcom security notice for supported fixes or vendor-approved workarounds.; Apply vendor guidance after validating compatibility with production automation and monitoring workflows..
