CVSS v3.1 |
| A flaw exists whereby a user can make a specific call to a FlashArray endpoint allowing privilege escalation. |
| An issue in Shanghai Zhouma Network Technology CO., Ltd IMS Intelligent Manufacturing Collaborative Internet of Things System v.1.9.1 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the open port. |
| A local privilege escalation (LPE) vulnerability has been identified in Phish Alert Button for Outlook (PAB), specifically within its configuration management functionalities. This vulnerability allows a regular user to modify the application's configuration file to redirect update checks to an arbitrary server, which can then be exploited in conjunction with CVE-2024-29209 to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
The issue stems from improper permission settings on the application's configuration file, which is stored in a common directory accessible to all users. This file includes critical parameters, such as the update server URL. By default, the application does not enforce adequate access controls on this file, allowing non-privileged users to modify it without administrative consent.
An attacker with regular user access can alter the update server URL specified in the configuration file to point to a malicious server. When the application performs its next update check, it will contact the attacker-controlled server. If the system is also vulnerable to CVE-2024-29209, the attacker can deliver a malicious update package that, when executed, grants them elevated privileges.
Impact:
This vulnerability can lead to a regular user executing code with administrative privileges. This can result in unauthorized access to sensitive data, installation of additional malware, and a full takeover of the affected system.
Affected Products:
Phish Alert Button (PAB) for Outlook versions 1.10.0-1.10.11
Second Chance Client versions 2.0.0-2.0.9
PIQ Client versions 1.0.0-1.0.15
Remediation:
KnowBe4 has released a patch that corrects the permission settings on the configuration file to prevent unauthorized modifications. Automated updates will be pushed to address this issue. Users of affected versions should verify the latest version is applied and, if not, apply the latest updates provided by KnowBe4.
Workarounds:
Manually set the correct permissions on the configuration file to restrict write access to administrators only.

| An issue was discovered in Alcatel-Lucent ALE NOE deskphones through 86x8_NOE-R300.1.40.12.4180 and SIP deskphones through 86x8_SIP-R200.1.01.10.728. Because of improper privilege management, an authenticated attacker is able to create symlinks to sensitive and protected data in locations that are used for debugging files. Given that the process of gathering debug logs is carried out with root privileges, any file referenced in the symlink is consequently written to the debug archive, thereby granting accessibility to the attacker. |
| An issue discovered in web-flash v3.0 allows attackers to reset passwords for arbitrary users via crafted POST request to /prod-api/user/resetPassword. |
| Ubiquiti AirMax firmware version firmware version 8 allows attackers with physical access to gain a privileged command shell via the UART Debugging Port. |
| FrostWire 6.14.0-build-326 for macOS contains permissive entitlements (allow-dyld-environment-variables, disable-library-validation) that allow unprivileged local attackers to inject code into the FrostWire process via the DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES environment variable. This allows escalated privileges to arbitrary TCC-approved directories. |

A weak encoding is used to transmit credentials for WS203VICM.
|
| Use of a custom password encoding algorithm in Streamsoft Prestiż software allows straightforward decoding of passwords using their encoded forms, which are stored in the application's database. One has to know the encoding algorithm, but it can be deduced by observing how password are transformed.
This issue was fixed in 18.2.377 version of the software. |
| Insecure permissions in the packaging of tomcat allow local users that win a race during package installation to escalate to root |
| setuid() does not affect libuv's internal io_uring operations if initialized before the call to setuid().
This allows the process to perform privileged operations despite presumably having dropped such privileges through a call to setuid().
This vulnerability affects all users using version greater or equal than Node.js 18.18.0, Node.js 20.4.0 and Node.js 21. |
| The JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.4.1. This is due to improper restriction on user meta fields. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level and above permissions, to register as super-admins on the sites configured as multi-sites. |
| A DLL hijacking vulnerability in the AMD Ryzen™ Master Utility could allow an attacker to achieve privilege escalation, potentially resulting in arbitrary code execution. |
| A vulnerability in Cisco NX-OS Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker with privileges to access the Bash shell to execute arbitrary code as root on an affected device.
This vulnerability is due to insufficient security restrictions when executing commands from the Bash shell. An attacker with privileges to access the Bash shell could exploit this vulnerability by executing a specific crafted command on the underlying operating system. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of root. |
| PVWA (Password Vault Web Access) in CyberArk Privileged Access Manager Self-Hosted before 14.4 has potentially elevated privileges in LDAP mapping. |
| An issue was discovered in DTEX DEC-M (DTEX Forwarder) 6.1.1. The com.dtexsystems.helper service, responsible for handling privileged operations within the macOS DTEX Event Forwarder agent, fails to implement critical client validation during XPC interprocess communication (IPC). Specifically, the service does not verify the code requirements, entitlements, security flags, or version of any client attempting to establish a connection. This lack of proper logic validation allows malicious actors to exploit the service's methods via unauthorized client connections, and escalate privileges to root by abusing the DTConnectionHelperProtocol protocol's submitQuery method over an unauthorized XPC connection. |
| OpenObserve is a cloud-native observability platform. A vulnerability in the user management endpoint `/api/{org_id}/users/{email_id}` allows an "Admin" role user to remove a "Root" user from the organization. This violates the intended privilege hierarchy, enabling a non-root user to remove the highest-privileged account. Due to insufficient role checks, the `remove_user_from_org` function does not prevent an "Admin" user from removing a "Root" user. As a result, an attacker with an "Admin" role can remove critical "Root" users, potentially gaining effective full control by eliminating the highest-privileged accounts. The `DELETE /api/{org_id}/users/{email_id}` endpoint is affected. This issue has been addressed in release version `0.14.1` and all users are advised to upgrade. There are no known workarounds for this vulnerability. |
| The Campbell Scientific CSI Web Server stores web authentication credentials in a file with a specific file name. Passwords within that file are stored in a weakly encoded format. There is no known way to remotely access the file unless it has been manually renamed. However, if an attacker were to gain access to the file, passwords could be decoded and reused to gain access. |
| A vulnerability in the Gen7 SonicOS Cloud platform NSv, allows a remote authenticated local low-privileged attacker to elevate privileges to `root` and potentially lead to code execution. |
| An issue was discovered in AlertEnterprise Guardian 4.1.14.2.2.1. One can elevate to administrator privileges via the IsAdminApprover parameter in a Request%20Building%20Access requestSubmit API call. The vendor has stated that the system is protected by updating to a version equal to or greater than one of the following build numbers: 4.1.12.2.1.19, 4.1.12.5.2.36, 4.1.13.0.60, 4.1.13.2.0.3.39, 4.1.13.2.0.3.41, 4.1.13.2.42, 4.1.13.2.25.44, 4.1.14.0.13, 4.1.14.0.43, 4.1.14.0.48, and 4.1.14.1.5.32. |
