A privilege escalation vulnerability in Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.0 and earlier allows any unprivileged Linux user to escalate privileges to root. The installer sets too relaxed permissions on /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/bin/* core program files. By injecting a payload into one of those files, it will run with the same privileges as the Wowza server, root. For example, /usr/local/WowzaStreamingEngine/bin/tune.sh could be replaced with a Trojan horse. This issue was resolved in Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.5.

An issue was discovered in Exynos Mobile Processor and Modem for Exynos Modem 5123, Exynos Modem 5300, Exynos 980, and Exynos 1080. Binding of a wrong resource can occur due to improper handling of parameters while binding a network interface.

Debian-edu-config all versions < 2.11.10, a set of configuration files used for Debian Edu, and debian-lan-config < 0.26, configured too permissive ACLs for the Kerberos admin server, which allowed password changes for other Kerberos user principals.

Insecure inherited permissions in some Intel(R) oneMKL software before version 2022.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.

Incorrect permission assignment for critical resource exists in CONPROSYS HMI System (CHS) versions prior to 3.5.3. ACL (Access Control List) is not appropriately set to the local folder where the affected product is installed, therefore a wide range of privileges is permitted to a user of the PC where the affected product is installed. As a result, the user may be able to destroy the system and/or execute a malicious program.

Dell ThinOS 10, versions prior to 2508_10.0127, contains an Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability. A local low-privileged attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability leading to Elevation of Privileges and Unauthorized Access.

The init script in the Gentoo app-admin/logstash-bin package before 5.5.3 and 5.6.x before 5.6.1 has "chown -R" calls for user-writable directory trees, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a $LS_USER account for creation of a hard link.

In IXP EasyInstall 6.2.13723, there is Lateral Movement (using the Agent Service) against other users on a client system. An authenticated attacker can, by modifying %SYSTEMDRIVE%\IXP\SW\[PACKAGE_CODE]\EveryLogon.bat, achieve this movement and execute code in the context of other users.

shadow 4.8, in certain circumstances affecting at least Gentoo, Arch Linux, and Void Linux, allows local users to obtain root access because setuid programs are misconfigured. Specifically, this affects shadow 4.8 when compiled using --with-libpam but without explicitly passing --disable-account-tools-setuid, and without a PAM configuration suitable for use with setuid account management tools. This combination leads to account management tools (groupadd, groupdel, groupmod, useradd, userdel, usermod) that can easily be used by unprivileged local users to escalate privileges to root in multiple ways. This issue became much more relevant in approximately December 2019 when an unrelated bug was fixed (i.e., the chmod calls to suidusbins were fixed in the upstream Makefile which is now included in the release version 4.8).

In ServiceManager::add function in the hardware service manager, there is an insecure permissions check based on the PID of the caller. This could allow an app to add or replace a HAL service with its own service, gaining code execution in a privileged process.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-8.0 Android-8.1 Android-9Android ID: A-121035042Upstream kernel

Insecure permissions in cwrapper_perl in Centreon Infrastructure Monitoring Software through 19.10 allow local attackers to gain privileges. (cwrapper_perl is a setuid executable allowing execution of Perl scripts with root privileges.)

An insecure modification vulnerability in the /etc/passwd file was found in all versions of OpenShift ServiceMesh (maistra) before 1.0.8 in the openshift/istio-kialia-rhel7-operator-container. An attacker with access to the container could use this flaw to modify /etc/passwd and escalate their privileges.

TrustPort Antivirus before 2.8.0.2266 and PC Security before 2.0.0.1291 use weak permissions (Everyone: Full Control) for files under %PROGRAMFILES%, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing executables with Trojan horse programs.

IBM Robotic Process Automation for Cloud Pak 21.0.1 through 21.0.4 could allow a local user to perform unauthorized actions due to insufficient permission settings. IBM X-Force ID: 244073.

FOG is a cloning/imaging/rescue suite/inventory management system. The application stores plaintext service account credentials in the "/opt/fog/.fogsettings" file. This file is by default readable by all users on the host. By exploiting these credentials, a malicious user could create new accounts for the web application and much more. The vulnerability is fixed in 1.5.10.41.

GSTN_offline_tool in India Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) Offline Utility tool before 1.2 executes winstart-server.vbs from the "C:\GST Offline Tool" directory, which has insecure permissions. This allows local users to gain privileges by replacing winstart-server.vbs with arbitrary VBScript code. For example, a local user could create VBScript code for a TCP reverse shell, and use that later for Remote Command Execution.

Razer Synapse 2.20.15.1104 and earlier uses weak permissions for the Devices directory, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse (1) RazerConfigNative.dll or (2) RazerConfigNativeLOC.dll file.

drbd8 allows local users to bypass intended restrictions for certain actions via netlink packets, similar to CVE-2009-3725.

A vulnerability in the privilege management functionality of all Cisco BroadWorks server types could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges to root on an affected system. This vulnerability is due to incorrect implementation of user role permissions. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by authenticating to the application as a user with the BWORKS or BWSUPERADMIN role and issuing crafted commands on an affected system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute commands beyond the sphere of their intended access level, including initiating installs or running operating system commands with elevated permissions. There are workarounds that address this vulnerability.

The ruby_parser-legacy (aka legacy) gem 1.0.0 for Ruby allows local privilege escalation because of world-writable files. For example, if the brakeman gem (which has a legacy dependency) 4.5.0 through 4.7.0 is used, a local user can insert malicious code into the ruby_parser-legacy-1.0.0/lib/ruby_parser/legacy/ruby_parser.rb file.

IOCTL Handling in the kyrld.sys driver in Kyrol Internet Security 9.0.6.9 allows an attacker to achieve privilege escalation, denial-of-service, and code execution via usermode because 0x9C402401 using METHOD_NEITHER results in a read primitive.

In Delta Electronics InfraSuite Device Master versions prior to 1.0.5, an attacker could set incorrect directory permissions, which could result in local privilege escalation.

Nitro Pro before 13.2 creates a debug.log file in the directory where a .pdf file is located, if the .pdf document was produced by an OCR operation on the JPEG output of a scanner. Reportedly, this can have a security risk if debug.log is later edited and then executed.

In Sage 300 ERP (formerly accpac) through 6.8.x, the installer configures the C:\Sage\Sage300\Runtime directory to be the first entry in the system-wide PATH environment variable. However, this directory is writable by unprivileged users because the Sage installer fails to set explicit permissions and therefore inherits weak permissions from the C:\ folder. Because entries in the system-wide PATH variable are included in the search order for DLLs, an attacker could perform DLL search-order hijacking to escalate their privileges to SYSTEM. Furthermore, if the Global Search or Web Screens functionality is enabled, then privilege escalation is possible via the GlobalSearchService and Sage.CNA.WindowsService services, again via DLL search-order hijacking because unprivileged users would have modify permissions on the application directory. Note that while older versions of the software default to installing in %PROGRAMFILES(X86)% (which would allow the Sage folder to inherit strong permissions, making the installation not vulnerable), the official Sage 300 installation guides for those versions recommend installing in C:\Sage, which would make the installation vulnerable.

Wowza Streaming Engine before 4.8.5 has Insecure Permissions which may allow a local attacker to escalate privileges in / usr / local / WowzaStreamingEngine / manager / bin / in the Linux version of the server by writing arbitrary commands in any file and execute them as root. This issue was resolved in Wowza Streaming Engine 4.8.5.

The g_file_copy function in glib 2.0 sets the permissions of a target file to the permissions of a symbolic link (777), which allows user-assisted local users to modify files of other users, as demonstrated by using Nautilus to modify the permissions of the user home directory.

A10 Thunder ADC Incorrect Permission Assignment Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of A10 Thunder ADC. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the installer. The issue results from incorrect permissions on a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-22754.

Adobe Photoshop Elements 8.0 installs the Adobe Active File Monitor V8 service with an insecure security descriptor, which allows local users to (1) stop the service via the stop command, (2) execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM by using the config command to modify the binPath variable, or (3) restart the service via the start command.

OpenBSD 6.6, in a non-default configuration where S/Key or YubiKey authentication is enabled, allows local users to become root by leveraging membership in the auth group. This occurs because root's file can be written to /etc/skey or /var/db/yubikey, and need not be owned by root.

Incorrect permissions on the Checkmk Windows Agent's data directory in Checkmk < 2.3.0p8, < 2.2.0p29, < 2.1.0p45, and <= 2.0.0p39 (EOL) allows a local attacker to gain SYSTEM privileges.

A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC Energy Manager Basic (All versions < V7.3 Update 1), SIMATIC Energy Manager PRO (All versions < V7.3 Update 1). Affected applications improperly assign permissions to critical directories and files used by the application processes. This could allow a local unprivileged attacker to achieve code execution with ADMINISTRATOR or even NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM privileges.

dp-golang is a Puppet module for Go installations. Prior to 1.2.7, dp-golang could install files — including the compiler binary — with the wrong ownership when Puppet was run as root and the installed package was On macOS: Go version 1.4.3 through 1.21rc3, inclusive, go1.4-bootstrap-20170518.tar.gz, or go1.4-bootstrap-20170531.tar.gz. The user and group specified in Puppet code were ignored for files within the archive. dp-puppet version 1.2.7 will recreate installations if the owner or group of any file or directory within that installation does not match the requested owner or group

For VMware Horizon Client for Windows (5.x and prior before 5.3.0), VMware Remote Console for Windows (10.x before 11.0.0), VMware Workstation for Windows (15.x before 15.5.2) the folder containing configuration files for the VMware USB arbitration service was found to be writable by all users. A local user on the system where the software is installed may exploit this issue to run commands as any user.
