The vulnerability is due to insufficient validation of the Tidal Job Buffers (TJB) parameters when the component is executed. An authenticated but unprivileged attacker could exploit this vulnerability by crafting a rogue caller of TJB and executing it on the affected system. The attacker needs access to the scheduler agent on the local machine to execute the attack.
