The Samsung Universal Print Driver for Windows is potentially vulnerable to escalation of privilege allowing the creation of a reverse shell in the tool. This is only applicable for products in the application released or manufactured before 2018.
Improper initialization in some Intel(R) Aptio* V UEFI Firmware Integrator Tools may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.
Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
IBM Db2 on Windows 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 may be vulnerable to a privilege escalation caused by at least one installed service using an unquoted service path. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges by inserting an executable file in the path of the affected service. IBM X-Force ID: 249194.
Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows Installer Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Windows File History Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when the Windows Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) service improperly allows COM object creation, aka 'Windows UPnP Service Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.
A vulnerability has been discovered in the Citrix Secure Access client for Windows which, if exploited, could allow an attacker with access to an endpoint with Standard User Account that has the vulnerable client installed to escalate their local privileges to that of NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM.
A vulnerability has been identified that, if exploited, could result in a local user elevating their privilege level to NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM on a Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops Windows VDA.
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.

Windows Storage Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists within the Qumu Multicast Extension v2 before 2.0.63 for Windows. When a standard user triggers a repair of the software, a pop-up window opens with SYSTEM privileges. Standard users may use this to gain arbitrary code execution as SYSTEM.
Microsoft Windows Update Client Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
An improper access control vulnerability in the Trend Micro Apex One agent could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges and create arbitrary directories with arbitrary ownership.
Windows Accounts Picture Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Local privilege escalation due to insecure folder permissions. The following products are affected: Acronis Agent (Windows) before build 30430, Acronis Cyber Protect 15 (Windows) before build 30984.
VMware Fusion (11.x before 11.5.2), VMware Remote Console for Mac (11.x and prior before 11.0.1) and Horizon Client for Mac (5.x and prior before 5.4.0) contain a privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper use of setuid binaries. Successful exploitation of this issue may allow attackers with normal user privileges to escalate their privileges to root on the system where Fusion, VMRC or Horizon Client is installed.
Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL2) Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
Norton, Avira, Avast and AVG Antivirus for Windows may be susceptible to a Privilege Escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to compromise the software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.
A vulnerability in the ClearPass OnGuard macOS agent could allow malicious users on a macOS instance to elevate their user privileges. A successful exploit could allow these users to execute arbitrary code with root level privileges on the macOS instance in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager version(s): ClearPass Policy Manager 6.10.x: 6.10.7 and below and ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.x: 6.9.12 and below.
A vulnerability in the ClearPass OnGuard Linux agent could allow malicious users on a Linux instance to elevate their user privileges. A successful exploit could allow these users to execute arbitrary code with root level privileges on the Linux instance in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager version(s): ClearPass Policy Manager 6.10.x: 6.10.7 and below and ClearPass Policy Manager 6.9.x: 6.9.12 and below.
The aufs module for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x does not properly restrict the mount namespace, which allows local users to gain privileges by mounting an aufs filesystem on top of a FUSE filesystem, and then executing a crafted setuid program.
RealVNC VNC Server before 6.11.0 and VNC Viewer before 6.22.826 on Windows allow local privilege escalation via MSI installer Repair mode.
The aufs module for the Linux kernel 3.x and 4.x does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory.
Improper privilege management in Windows Remote Access Connection Manager allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
NuGet Client Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
An issue was discovered in the rollback feature of Elastic Endpoint Security for Windows, which could allow unprivileged users to elevate their privileges to those of the LocalSystem account.
An issue was discovered in the quarantine feature of Elastic Endpoint Security and Elastic Endgame for Windows, which could allow unprivileged users to elevate their privileges to those of the LocalSystem account.
The overlayfs implementation in the Linux kernel through 4.5.2 does not properly maintain POSIX ACL xattr data, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging a group-writable setgid directory.
The inode_init_owner function in fs/inode.c in the Linux kernel through 3.16 allows local users to create files with an unintended group ownership, in a scenario where a directory is SGID to a certain group and is writable by a user who is not a member of that group. Here, the non-member can trigger creation of a plain file whose group ownership is that group. The intended behavior was that the non-member can trigger creation of a directory (but not a plain file) whose group ownership is that group. The non-member can escalate privileges by making the plain file executable and SGID.

System Center Operations Manager: Open Management Infrastructure (OMI) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability
An attacker can pre-create the `/Applications/Google\ Drive.app/Contents/MacOS` directory which is expected to be owned by root to be owned by a non-root user. When the Drive for Desktop installer is run for the first time, it will place a binary in that directory with execute permissions and set its setuid bit. Since the attacker owns the directory, the attacker can replace the binary with a symlink, causing the installer to set the setuid bit on the symlink. When the symlink is executed, it will run with root permissions. We recommend upgrading past version 64.0
