An exploitable privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Wacom, driver version 6.3.32-3, update helper service in the startProcess command. The command takes a user-supplied script argument and executes it under root context. A user with local access can use this vulnerability to raise their privileges to root. An attacker would need local access to the machine for a successful exploit.

Authentication Bypass in Hub Business integration in Devolutions Workspace Desktop 2023.1.1.3 and earlier on Windows and macOS allows an attacker with access to the user interface to unlock a Hub Business space without being prompted to enter the password via an unimplemented "Force Login" security feature. This vulnerability occurs only if "Force Login" feature is enabled on the Hub Business instance and that an attacker has access to a locked Workspace desktop application configured with a Hub Business space.

Viscosity 1.8.2 on Windows and macOS allows an unprivileged user to set a subset of OpenVPN parameters, which can be used to load a malicious library into the memory of the OpenVPN process, leading to limited local privilege escalation. (When a VPN connection is initiated using a TLS/SSL client profile, the privileges are dropped, and the library will be loaded, resulting in arbitrary code execution as a user with limited privileges. This greatly reduces the impact of the vulnerability.)
VMware Fusion contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with read/write access to the host operating system can elevate privileges to gain root access to the host operating system.
The CoreProcesses component in Apple Mac OS X 10.7 before 10.7.2 does not prevent a system window from receiving keystrokes in the locked-screen state, which might allow physically proximate attackers to bypass intended access restrictions by typing into this window.

IBM Personal Communications v14 and v15 include a Windows service that is vulnerable to local privilege escalation (LPE). The vulnerability allows any interactively logged in users on the target computer to run commands with full privileges in the context of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. This allows for a low privileged attacker to escalate their privileges. This vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-25029.
An issue was discovered in Canonical Multipass for macOS before version 1.16.3 due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2025-5199. While the patch in version 1.16.0 updated the ownership of the multipassd daemon binary to root:wheel, five co-located binaries (multipass, qemu-img, qemu-system-aarch64, qemu-system-x86_64, and sshfs_server) in /Library/Application Support/com.canonical.multipass/bin/ retain ownership by the installing user and remain writable. Because the root LaunchDaemon (com.canonical.multipassd.plist) configures a PATH environment variable that prioritizes this user-writable directory and invokes these auxiliary binaries by their bare names, a local attacker can replace an auxiliary binary (such as qemu-img) with a malicious wrapper. When the root daemon subsequently triggers the binary during routine execution (e.g., via multipass launch), the malicious code executes with root privileges, leading to local privilege escalation.
A logic issue was addressed with improved state management. This issue is fixed in macOS Big Sur 11.2, Security Update 2021-001 Catalina, Security Update 2021-001 Mojave. Mounting a maliciously crafted Samba network share may lead to arbitrary code execution.
dyld in Apple iOS before 6.1.3 and Apple TV before 5.2.1 does not properly manage the state of file loading for Mach-O executable files, which allows local users to bypass intended code-signing requirements via a file that contains overlapping segments.
An issue was discovered in certain Apple products. iOS before 10.2 is affected. watchOS before 3.1.1 is affected. The issue involves the "Accounts" component, which allows local users to bypass intended authorization restrictions by leveraging the mishandling of an app uninstall.

Signal Desktop before 6.2.0 on Windows, Linux, and macOS allows an attacker to modify conversation attachments within the attachments.noindex directory. Client mechanisms fail to validate modifications of existing cached files, resulting in an attacker's ability to insert malicious code into pre-existing attachments or replace them completely. A threat actor can forward the existing attachment in the corresponding conversation to external groups, and the name and size of the file will not change, allowing the malware to masquerade as another file. NOTE: the vendor disputes the relevance of this finding because the product is not intended to protect against adversaries with this degree of local access.
Unknown vulnerability in Mac OS X 10.3.4, related to "package installation scripts," a different vulnerability than CVE-2004-0517.
