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.

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

A CWE-22: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability exists that could cause arbitrary file deletion upon service restart when accessed by a local and low-privileged attacker.

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 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.

IBM DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes DB2 Connect Server) 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, and 11.1 could allow a local unprivileged user to overwrite files on the system which could cause damage to the database. IBM X-Force ID: 149429.

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

The Mozilla Maintenance Service "helper.exe" application creates a temporary directory writable by non-privileged users. When this is combined with creation of a junction (a form of symbolic link), protected files in the target directory of the junction can be deleted by the Mozilla Maintenance Service, which has privileged access. Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 52.2 and Firefox < 54.

The kernel API in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2 and Windows Server 2008 SP2 does not properly enforce permissions, which allows local users to spoof processes, spoof inter-process communication, or cause a denial of service via a crafted application, aka "Windows Kernel 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.

The Mozilla Windows updater can be called by a non-privileged user to delete an arbitrary local file by passing a special path to the callback parameter through the Mozilla Maintenance Service, which has privileged access. Note: This attack requires local system access and only affects Windows. Other operating systems are not affected. This vulnerability affects Firefox ESR < 45.8 and Firefox < 52.

Dell Command | Update, Dell Update, and Alienware Update versions 4.9.0, A01 and prior contain an Insecure Operation on Windows Junction / Mount Point vulnerability. A local malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability to create arbitrary folder leading to permanent Denial of Service (DOS).

Microsoft Windows Update Client Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability in the EPAG component of Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools for Windows allows a local attacker to cause a denial of service. This issue affects: Bitdefender GravityZone version 7.1.2.33 and prior versions.

Windows Installer Denial of Service 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 Windows User Profile Service (ProfSvc) improperly handles symlinks, aka 'Windows User Profile Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Windows store installer where WindowsApps directory is vulnerable to symbolic link attack, aka 'Microsoft Windows Store Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Update Delivery Optimization does not properly enforce file share permissions, aka 'Windows Update Delivery Optimization Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

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 Windows User Profile Service (ProfSvc) improperly handles symlinks. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could delete files and folders in an elevated context. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would first have to log on to the system. An attacker could then run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability and delete files or folders of their choosing. The security update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows User Profile Service handles symlinks.

Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

\Device\NdisTapi (NDISTAPI.sys) in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and 2003 SP1 uses weak permissions, which allows local users to write to the device and cause a denial of service, as demonstrated by using an IRQL to acquire a spinlock on paged memory via the NdisTapiDispatch function.

Azure Network Watcher VM Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Prior to SEP 12.1 RU6 MP9 & SEP 14 RU1 Symantec Endpoint Protection Windows endpoint can encounter a situation whereby an attacker could use the product's UI to perform unauthorized file deletes on the resident file system.

Windows Fax Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 and R2 SP1 and Windows 7 Gold and SP1 do not properly enforce AppLocker rules, which allows local users to bypass intended access restrictions via a (1) macro or (2) scripting feature in an application, as demonstrated by Microsoft Office applications and the SANDBOX_INERT and LOAD_IGNORE_CODE_AUTHZ_LEVEL flags.

Azure Monitor Agent Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

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.
