Rhel-lightspeed: improper access control in lightspeed history management allows local privilege manipulation
A flaw was found in the Lightspeed history service. Insufficient access controls allow a local, unprivileged user to access and manipulate the chat history of another user on the same system. By abusing inter-process communication calls to the history service, an attacker can view, delete, or inject arbitrary history entries, including misleading or malicious commands. This can be used to deceive another user into executing harmful actions, posing a risk of privilege misuse or unauthorized command execution through social engineering.
Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria, which include ease of use and deployment, applicability to a widespread installation base, and system stability.
