The Auto Local Logon feature in Check Point VPN-1 SecuRemote/SecureClient NGX R60 and R56 for Windows caches credentials under the Checkpoint\SecuRemote registry key, which has Everyone/Full Control permissions, which allows local users to gain privileges by reading and reusing the credentials.
Check Point ZoneAlarm before version 15.8.200.19118 allows a local actor to escalate privileges during the upgrade process. In addition, weak permissions in the ProgramData\CheckPoint\ZoneAlarm\Data\Updates directory allow a local attacker the ability to execute an arbitrary file write, leading to execution of code as local system, in ZoneAlarm versions before v15.8.211.192119
Users have access to the directory where the installation repair occurs. Since the MS Installer allows regular users to run the repair, an attacker can initiate the installation repair and place a specially crafted EXE in the repair folder which runs with the Check Point Remote Access Client privileges.
The Harmony Browse and the SandBlast Agent for Browsers installers must have admin privileges to execute some steps during the installation. Because the MS Installer allows regular users to repair their installation, an attacker running an installer before 90.08.7405 can start the installation repair and place a specially crafted binary in the repair folder, which runs with the admin privileges.
Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows before version E84.20 allows write access to the directory from which the installation repair takes place. Since the MS Installer allows regular users to run the repair, an attacker can initiate the installation repair and place a specially crafted DLL in the repair folder which will run with the Endpoint client’s privileges.
Check Point SmartConsole before R80.10 Build 185, R80.20 Build 119, R80.30 before Build 94, R80.40 before Build 415, and R81 before Build 548 were vulnerable to a possible local privilege escalation due to running executables from a directory with write access to all authenticated users.
Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows versions earlier than E86.40 copy files for forensics reports from a directory with low privileges. An attacker can replace those files with malicious or linked content, such as exploiting CVE-2020-0896 on unpatched systems or using symbolic links.
A hard-link created from log file archive of Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 or Check Point Endpoint Security client for Windows before E80.96 to any file on the system will get its permission changed so that all users can access that linked file. Doing this on files with limited access gains the local attacker higher privileges to the file.
Check Point ZoneAlarm before version 15.8.139.18543 allows a local actor to escalate privileges while restoring files in Anti-Ransomware.
A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Harmony Endpoint Security Client for Windows versions E88.10 and below. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute local privileged code on the target system.
Local privilege escalation in Check Point Endpoint Security Client (version E87.30) via crafted OpenSSL configuration file
A local attacker can escalate privileges on affected Check Point ZoneAlarm Extreme Security NextGen, Identity Agent for Windows, and Identity Agent for Windows Terminal Server. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute local privileged code on the target system.
Quick Emulator (Qemu) built with the VirtFS, host directory sharing via Plan 9 File System(9pfs) support, is vulnerable to an improper access control issue. It could occur while accessing virtfs metadata files in mapped-file security mode. A guest user could use this flaw to escalate their privileges inside guest.
The mm subsystem in the Linux kernel through 3.2 does not properly enforce the CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM protection mechanism, which allows local users to read or write to kernel memory locations in the first megabyte (and bypass slab-allocation access restrictions) via an application that opens the /dev/mem file, related to arch/x86/mm/init.c and drivers/char/mem.c.
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.
Zoho Remote Access Plus Server Windows Desktop binary fixed in version 10.1.2132 is affected by an unauthorized password reset vulnerability. Because of the designed password reset mechanism, any non-admin Windows user can reset the password of the Remote Access Plus Server Admin account.
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource vulnerability in the crash handling component BDReinit.exe as used in Bitdefender Total Security, Internet Security, Antivirus Plus, Endpoint Security Tools for Windows allows a remote attacker to escalate local privileges to SYSTEM.

Zoho Remote Access Plus Server Windows Desktop Binary fixed from 10.1.2121.1 is affected by incorrect access control. The installation directory is vulnerable to weak file permissions by allowing full control for Windows Everyone user group (non-admin or any guest users), thereby allowing privilege escalation, unauthorized password reset, stealing of sensitive data, access to credentials in plaintext, access to registry values, tampering with configuration files, etc.
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.

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.
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.
The MacOS version of Multipass, version 1.7.0, fixed in 1.7.2, accidentally installed the application directory with incorrect owner.
The Canon TR150 print driver through 3.71.2.10 is vulnerable to a privilege escalation issue. During the add printer process, a local attacker can overwrite CNMurGE.dll and, if timed properly, the overwritten DLL will be loaded into a SYSTEM process resulting in escalation of privileges. This occurs because the driver drops a world-writable DLL into a CanonBJ %PROGRAMDATA% location that gets loaded by printisolationhost (a system process).
Dell EMC PowerScale OneFS versions 8.2.x - 9.2.x contain an incorrect permission assignment for critical resource vulnerability. This could allow a user with ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_SSH or ISI_PRIV_LOGIN_CONSOLE to access privileged information about the cluster.
