Time-of-check Time-of-use race condition for some Intel(R) Connectivity Performance Suite software installers before version 40.24.11210 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
systemd before 247 does not adequately block local privilege escalation for some Sudo configurations, e.g., plausible sudoers files in which the "systemctl status" command may be executed. Specifically, systemd does not set LESSSECURE to 1, and thus other programs may be launched from the less program. This presents a substantial security risk when running systemctl from Sudo, because less executes as root when the terminal size is too small to show the complete systemctl output.
An attacker can exploit the update behavior of the WorkTime monitoring daemon to elevate privileges on the local system to NT Authority\SYSTEM. A malicious executable must be named WTWatch.exe and dropped in the C:\ProgramData\wta\ClientExe directory, which is writable by "Everyone". The executable will then be run by the WorkTime monitoring daemon.
An issue was discovered in the Hyundai Gen5W_L in-vehicle infotainment system AE_E_PE_EUR.S5W_L001.001.211214.

Valid user credentials are required in order to exploit this vulnerability.
UBports Ubuntu Touch 16.04 allows the screen-unlock passcode to be used for a privileged shell via Sudo. This passcode is only four digits, far below typical length/complexity for a user account's password. NOTE: a third party states "The described attack cannot be executed as demonstrated.
Windows Accounts Picture Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
The issue was addressed by adding additional logic. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.7.3, macOS Tahoe 26. An app may be able to bypass launch constraint protections and execute malicious code with elevated privileges.
In Sudo before 1.9.12p2, the sudoedit (aka -e) feature mishandles extra arguments passed in the user-provided environment variables (SUDO_EDITOR, VISUAL, and EDITOR), allowing a local attacker to append arbitrary entries to the list of files to process. This can lead to privilege escalation. Affected versions are 1.8.0 through 1.9.12.p1. The problem exists because a user-specified editor may contain a "--" argument that defeats a protection mechanism, e.g., an EDITOR='vim -- /path/to/extra/file' value.
Microsoft Cryptographic Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
An elevation of privilege exists in Windows Audio Service. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker could run a specially crafted application that could exploit the vulnerability. This vulnerability by itself does not allow arbitrary code to be run. However, this vulnerability could be used in conjunction with one or more vulnerabilities (e.g. a remote code execution vulnerability and another elevation of privilege) that could take advantage of the elevated privileges when running. The update addresses the vulnerability by correcting how the Windows Audio Service handles processes these requests.
