Norton, Avira, Avast and AVG Antivirus for Windows may be susceptible to a Privilege Escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to compromise the software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.

Improper authorization in Ivanti Secure Access Client before version 22.7R3 allows a local authenticated attacker to modify sensitive configuration files.

Microsoft Windows Defender Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Versions 10.0, 11.0 and 12.0 of the Trend Micro Deep Security Agent are vulnerable to an arbitrary file delete attack, which may lead to availability impact. Local OS access is required. Please note that only Windows agents are affected.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the MpSigStub.exe for Defender allows file deletion in arbitrary locations. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted command that could exploit the vulnerability and delete protected files on an affected system once MpSigStub.exe ran again. The update addresses the vulnerability and blocks the arbitrary deletion.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Visual Studio updater service improperly handles file permissions, aka 'Visual Studio Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

Windows Fax Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the HPE Aruba Networking Virtual Intranet Access (VIA) client could allow malicious users to overwrite arbitrary files as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. A successful exploit could allow these malicious users to create a Denial-of-Service (DoS) condition affecting the Microsoft Windows operating System boot process.

Windows Storage Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

updater.exe in Mozilla Firefox before 41.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.3 on Windows allows local users to write to arbitrary files by conducting a junction attack and waiting for an update operation by the Mozilla Maintenance Service.

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows and Linux contains a vulnerability in the ECC layer, where an unprivileged regular user can cause an out-of-bounds write, which may lead to denial of service and data tampering.

Docker Desktop installer on Windows in versions before 4.6.0 allows an attacker to overwrite any administrator writable files by creating a symlink in place of where the installer writes its log file. Starting from version 4.6.0, the Docker Desktop installer, when run elevated, will write its log files to a location not writable by non-administrator users.

Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Azure Network Watcher VM Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

An improper link resolution before file access vulnerability exists in the Palo Alto Networks Cortex XDR agent on Windows platforms that enables a local user to delete arbitrary system files and impact the system integrity or cause a denial of service condition. This issue impacts: Cortex XDR agent 5.0 versions earlier than Cortex XDR agent 5.0.12; Cortex XDR agent 6.1 versions earlier than Cortex XDR agent 6.1.9; Cortex XDR agent 7.2 versions earlier than Cortex XDR agent 7.2.4; Cortex XDR agent 7.3 versions earlier than Cortex XDR agent 7.3.2.

A link following denial-of-service vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One (on-prem and SaaS) and Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security (10.0 SP1 and Services) could allow a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files in the context of SYSTEM. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

A link following denial-of-service (DoS) vulnerability in the Trend Micro Security (Consumer) 2021 familiy of products could allow an attacker to abuse the PC Health Checkup feature of the product to create symlinks that would allow modification of files which could lead to a denial-of-service.

Windows Recovery Environment Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

The Winsock2ProtocolCatalogMutex mutex in Windows NT 4.0 has inappropriate Everyone/Full Control permissions, which allows local users to modify the permissions to "No Access" and disable Winsock network connectivity to cause a denial of service, aka the "Winsock Mutex" vulnerability.

In WIBU CodeMeter Runtime before 7.30a, creating a crafted CmDongles symbolic link will overwrite the linked file without checking permissions.

An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability in the Damage Cleanup Engine component of Trend Micro Apex One and Trend Micro Apex One as a Service could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges and delete files on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in European Chemicals Agency IUCLID 7.10.3 on Windows. Affected is an unknown function of the file iuclid6.exe of the component Desktop Installer. The manipulation leads to incorrect default permissions. The attack needs to be approached locally. VDB-251670 is the identifier assigned to this vulnerability. NOTE: The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Microsoft Windows Update Client Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in Microsoft Windows allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Trend Micro Maximum Security 2022 is vulnerable to a link following vulnerability that could allow a low privileged local user to manipulate the product's secure erase feature to delete arbitrary files.

A symbolic link manipulation vulnerability in Trellix Anti-Malware Engine prior to the January 2024 release allows an authenticated local user to potentially gain an escalation of privileges. This was achieved by adding an entry to the registry under the Trellix ENS registry folder with a symbolic link to files that the user wouldn't normally have permission to. After a scan, the Engine would follow the links and remove the files

Windows Update Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

A link following denial-of-service vulnerability in Trend Micro Worry-Free Business Security (on prem only) could allow a local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files in the context of SYSTEM. This is similar to, but not the same as CVE-2021-44024. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.

Windows 10 Update Assistant Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

The Duo Authentication Proxy installer prior to 5.2.1 did not properly validate file installation paths. This allows an attacker with local user privileges to coerce the installer to write to arbitrary privileged directories. If successful, an attacker can manipulate files used by Duo Authentication Proxy installer, cause Denial of Service (DoS) by deleting file(s), or replace system files to potentially achieve elevation of privileges. This is only exploitable during new installations, while the installer is running, and is not exploitable once installation has finished. Versions 5.2.1 of Duo Authentication Proxy installer addresses this issue.

NVIDIA GPU Display Driver for Windows contains a vulnerability in the kernel mode layer (nvlddmkm.sys) handler for DxgkDdiEscape in which a local user can get elevated privileges to modify display configuration data, which may result in denial of service of the display.

Windows Update Stack Setup Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

NVIDIA vGPU software contains a vulnerability in the guest kernel mode driver and vGPU plugin, in which an input data size is not validated, which may lead to tampering of data or denial of service. This affects vGPU version 8.x (prior to 8.6) and version 11.0 (prior to 11.3).
