Lenovo Vantage Flaws Allow Local Privilege Escalation on PCs

Lenovo has issued a security advisory disclosing three newly discovered vulnerabilities in Lenovo Vantage, a widely pre-installed utility on Lenovo PCs designed to enhance performance, manage updates, and secure system configurations. The flaws, which affect both the standard and commercial versions of the software, could allow local attackers to execute code with elevated privileges.

Three CVEs were assigned in the disclosure:

• CVE-2025-6230 (CVSS Score: 5.3) — SQL Injection in Local Database
  This vulnerability allows a local attacker to inject malicious SQL commands into the app’s internal SQLite database, potentially modifying it to execute unauthorized operations or escalate privileges.
• CVE-2025-6231  (CVSS Score: 7.8) — Configuration File Manipulation
  Improper validation of application configuration files could allow attackers to tamper with them and gain elevated code execution privileges. This flaw poses a greater risk on systems where multiple users share access.
• CVE-2025-6232 (CVSS Score: 7.8) — Registry Hijack
  A separate flaw enables attackers to escalate privileges by manipulating specific registry locations that the application fails to validate properly.

The vulnerabilities affect older versions of both Lenovo Vantage and Lenovo Commercial Vantage.

To mitigate the risk, Lenovo recommends:

• Updating Lenovo Vantage to version 10.2501.20.0 or newer
• Updating Lenovo Commercial Vantage to version 20.2506.39.0 or newer

Users using Lenovo devices should urgently deploy the patch across all affected endpoints to prevent privilege escalation scenarios that could be leveraged in broader attack chains.
