A vulnerability has been identified in SINEC NMS (All versions < V3.0). The affected application executes a subset of its services as `NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM`. This could allow a local attacker to execute operating system commands with elevated privileges.
Attackers with local access to the medical office computer can escalate their Windows user privileges to "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM" by overwriting one of two Elefant service binaries with weak permissions. The default installation directory of Elefant is "C:\Elefant1" which is writable for all users. In addition, the Elefant installer registers two Firebird database services which are running as “NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM”. Path: C:\Elefant1\Firebird_2\bin\fbserver.exe Path: C:\Elefant1\Firebird_2\bin\fbguard.exe Both service binaries are user writable. This means that a local attacker can rename one of the service binaries, replace the service executable with a new executable, and then restart the system. Once the system has rebooted, the new service binary is executed as "NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM".

This vulnerability potentially allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of PaperCut NG. An attacker must have local write access to the C Drive. In addition, Print Archiving must be enabled or the attacker needs to encounter a misconfigured system. This vulnerability does not apply to PaperCut NG installs that have Print Archiving enabled and configured as per the recommended set up procedure. This specific flaw exists within the pc-pdl-to-image process. The process loads an executable from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM Note: This CVE has been rescored with a "Privileges Required (PR)" rating of low, and “Attack Complexity (AC)” rating of low, reflecting the worst-case scenario where an Administrator has granted local login access to standard network users on the host server.
A potential vulnerability was reported in PC Manager that could allow a local authenticated user to execute code with elevated privileges.
super-xray is the GUI alternative for vulnerability scanning tool xray. In 0.2-beta, a privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered. This caused inaccurate default xray permissions. Note: this vulnerability only affects Linux and Mac OS systems. Users should upgrade to super-xray 0.3-beta.
Local privilege escalation due to excessive permissions assigned to child processes. The following products are affected: Acronis Snap Deploy (Windows) before build 3640
In PyInstaller before version 3.6, only on Windows, a local privilege escalation vulnerability is present in this particular case: If a software using PyInstaller in "onefile" mode is launched by a privileged user (at least more than the current one) which have his "TempPath" resolving to a world writable directory. This is the case for example if the software is launched as a service or as a scheduled task using a system account (TempPath will be C:\Windows\Temp). In order to be exploitable the software has to be (re)started after the attacker launch the exploit program, so for a service launched at startup, a service restart is needed (e.g. after a crash or an upgrade).
Nagios XI versions prior to 5.8.7 used a temporary directory for Highcharts exports with overly permissive ownership/permissions under the Apache user. Local or co-hosted processes could read/overwrite export artifacts or manipulate paths, risking disclosure or tampering and potential code execution depending on deployment.
A vulnerability has been identified in License Management Utility (LMU) (All versions < V2.4). The lmgrd service of the affected application is executed with local SYSTEM privileges on the server while its configuration can be modified by local users. The vulnerability could allow a local authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the server with local SYSTEM privileges.
The virConnectGetDomainCapabilities() libvirt API, versions 4.x.x before 4.10.1 and 5.x.x before 5.4.1, accepts an "emulatorbin" argument to specify the program providing emulation for a domain. Since v1.2.19, libvirt will execute that program to probe the domain's capabilities. Read-only clients could specify an arbitrary path for this argument, causing libvirtd to execute a crafted executable with its own privileges.
The Dell EMC Virtual Appliances before 9.2.2.2 contain undocumented user accounts. A local malicious user may potentially exploit this vulnerability to get privileged access to the virtual appliance.
In JetBrains IntelliJ IDEA before 2023.2 plugin for Space was requesting excessive permissions
