Local Privilege Escalation.This issue affects BLU-IC2: through 1.19.5; BLU-IC4: through 1.19.5 .

crun is an open source OCI Container Runtime fully written in C. In versions 1.19 through 1.26, the `crun exec` option `-u` (`--user`) is incorrectly parsed. The value `1` is interpreted as UID 0 and GID 0 when it should have been UID 1 and GID 0. The process thus runs with higher privileges than expected. Version 1.27 patches the issue.

A potential security vulnerability has been identified in the HP Support Assistant for versions prior to 9.47.41.0. The vulnerability could potentially allow a local attacker to escalate privileges via an arbitrary file write.

In WelcomeActivity.java and related files, there is a possible permissions bypass due to a partially provisioned Device Policy Client. This could lead to local escalation of privilege, leaving an Admin app installed with no indication to the user, with User execution privileges needed. User interaction is not needed for exploitation.Product: AndroidVersions: Android-8.0 Android-8.1 Android-9 Android-10Android ID: A-132261064

Privilege escalation vulnerability has been found in Wondershare Dr.Fone version 13.5.21. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to escalate privileges by replacing the binary ‘C:\ProgramData\Wondershare\wsServices\ElevationService.exe’ with a malicious binary. This binary will be executed by SYSTEM automatically.

Bubblewrap (bwrap) before version 0.4.1, if installed in setuid mode and the kernel supports unprivileged user namespaces, then the `bwrap --userns2` option can be used to make the setuid process keep running as root while being traceable. This can in turn be used to gain root permissions. Note that this only affects the combination of bubblewrap in setuid mode (which is typically used when unprivileged user namespaces are not supported) and the support of unprivileged user namespaces. Known to be affected are: * Debian testing/unstable, if unprivileged user namespaces enabled (not default) * Debian buster-backports, if unprivileged user namespaces enabled (not default) * Arch if using `linux-hardened`, if unprivileged user namespaces enabled (not default) * Centos 7 flatpak COPR, if unprivileged user namespaces enabled (not default) This has been fixed in the 0.4.1 release, and all affected users should update.

CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management vulnerability exists for two services (of which one managing audit trail data and the other acting as server managing client request) that could cause a loss of Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability of engineering workstation when an attacker with standard privilege modifies the executable path of the windows services. To be exploited, services need to be restarted.

Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management vulnerability exists that could cause unauthorized access, loss of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the workstation when non-admin authenticated user tries to perform privilege escalation by tampering with the binaries

Mullvad VPN is a VPN client app for desktop and mobile. When using macOS with versions 2026.1 and below, Mullvad VPN may allow local privilege escalation during installation or upgrade. The installer package executes binaries from /Applications/Mullvad VPN.app without verifying if the bundle is attacker-controlled or that the path is the legitimate Mullvad application. A user in the admin group can pre-place a crafted application bundle at that location and may be able to achieve code execution as root. Since the issue only affected the installer, there is no immediate need for users to update if they are already running an older version. This issue has been fixed in version 2026.2-beta1.

Jann Horn of Google Project Zero discovered that NTFS-3G, a read-write NTFS driver for FUSE, does not scrub the environment before executing modprobe with elevated privileges. A local user can take advantage of this flaw for local root privilege escalation.

'Long-term Data Archive Package' service implemented in the following Yokogawa Electric products creates some named pipe with imporper ACL configuration. CENTUM CS 3000 versions from R3.08.10 to R3.09.00, CENTUM VP versions from R4.01.00 to R4.03.00, from R5.01.00 to R5.04.20, and from R6.01.00 to R6.08.00, Exaopc versions from R3.72.00 to R3.79.00.

OpenBSD through 6.6 allows local users to escalate to root because a check for LD_LIBRARY_PATH in setuid programs can be defeated by setting a very small RLIMIT_DATA resource limit. When executing chpass or passwd (which are setuid root), _dl_setup_env in ld.so tries to strip LD_LIBRARY_PATH from the environment, but fails when it cannot allocate memory. Thus, the attacker is able to execute their own library code as root.

CA Automic Dollar Universe 5.3.3 contains a vulnerability, related to the uxdqmsrv binary being setuid root, that allows local attackers to elevate privileges. This vulnerability was reported to CA several years after CA Automic Dollar Universe 5.3.3 reached End of Life (EOL) status on April 1, 2015.

An issue was discovered in TitanHQ WebTitan before 5.18. It has a sudoers file that enables low-privilege users to execute a vast number of commands as root, including mv, chown, and chmod. This can be trivially exploited to gain root privileges by an attacker with access.

A Privilege Escalation vulnerability exists in the SDBagent service in Safend Data Protector Agent 3.4.5586.9772, which could let a local malicious user obtain privileges.

A SUID root-owned binary in /home/xd/terminal/XDTerminal in International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 on Linux allows a local actor to potentially preform local privilege escalation depending on conditions of the system via execution of the affected SUID binary. This can be via PATH hijacking, symlink abuse or shared object hijacking.

AiAssistant is affected by type privilege bypass, successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect service availability.

Improper Privilege Management in certain Zoom Clients for Windows may allow an authenticated user to conduct an escalation of privilege via local access.

OpenWrt Project is a Linux operating system targeting embedded devices. In versions prior to 24.10.6, a vulnerability in the hotplug_call function allows an attacker to bypass environment variable filtering and inject an arbitrary PATH variable, potentially leading to privilege escalation. The function is intended to filter out sensitive environment variables like PATH when executing hotplug scripts in /etc/hotplug.d, but a bug using strcmp instead of strncmp causes the filter to compare the full environment string (e.g., PATH=/some/value) against the literal "PATH", so the match always fails. As a result, the PATH variable is never excluded, enabling an attacker to control which binaries are executed by procd-invoked scripts running with elevated privileges. This issue has been fixed in version 24.10.6.

An issue was discovered in rConfig 3.9.3. The install script updates the /etc/sudoers file for rconfig specific tasks. After an "rConfig specific Apache configuration" update, apache has high privileges for some binaries. This can be exploited by an attacker to bypass local security restrictions.

A potential security vulnerability has been identified for HP LaserJet Solution Software (for certain HP LaserJet Printers) which may lead to unauthorized elevation of privilege on the client.

An insecure modification vulnerability in the /etc/passwd file was found in the operator-framework/hadoop as shipped in Red Hat Openshift 4. An attacker with access to the container could use this flaw to modify /etc/passwd and escalate their privileges.

The IDC SFX2100 Satellite Receiver sets overly permissive file system permissions on the monitor user's home directory. The directory is configured with permissions 0777, granting read, write, and execute access to all local users on the system, which may cause local privilege escalation depending on conditions of the system due to the presence of highly privileged processes and binaries residing within the affected directory.

Multiple SUID root-owned binaries are found in /home/monitor/terminal, /home/monitor/kore-terminal, /home/monitor/IDE-DPack/terminal-dpack, and /home/monitor/IDE-DPack/terminal-dpack2 in International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 Satellite Receiver, which may lead to local privlidge escalation from the `monitor` user to root

The pstrip64.sys driver in EnTech Taiwan PowerStrip <=3.90.736 allows local users to escalate privileges to SYSTEM via a crafted IOCTL request enabling unprivileged users to map arbitrary physical memory into their address space and modify critical kernel structures.

FastTrack Admin By Request 6.1.0.0 supports group policies that are supposed to allow only a select range of users to elevate to Administrator privilege at will. If a user does not have direct access to the elevation feature through group policies, they are prompted to enter a PIN code in a challenge-response manner upon attempting to elevate privileges. The challenge's response uses a simple algorithm that can be easily emulated via data (customer ID and device name) available to all users, and thus any user can elevate to Administrator privilege.

International Data Casting (IDC) SFX2100 satellite receiver comes with the `/sbin/ip` utility installed with the setuid bit set. This configuration grants elevated privileges to any local user who can execute the binary. A local actor is able to use the GTFObins resource to preform privileged file reads as the root user on the local file system and may potentially lead to other avenues for preforming privileged actions.

In Ivanti WorkSpace Control before 10.4.40.0, a user can elevate rights on the system by hijacking certain user registries. This is possible because pwrgrid.exe first checks the Current User registry hives (HKCU) when starting an application with elevated rights.
