CVSS v3.1 |
| On Arista CloudVision systems (virtual or physical on-premise deployments), Zero Touch Provisioning can be used to gain admin privileges on the CloudVision system, with more permissions than necessary, which can be used to query or manipulate system state for devices under management. Note that CloudVision as-a-Service is not affected. |
| By making minor configuration changes to the TropOS 4th Gen device, an authenticated user with the ability to run user level shell commands can enable access via secure shell (SSH) to an unrestricted root shell. This is possible through abuse of a particular set of scripts and executables that allow for certain commands to be run as root from an unprivileged context. |
| VMware Avi Load Balancer contains a privilege escalation vulnerability. A malicious actor with admin privileges on VMware Avi Load Balancer can create, modify, execute and delete files as a root user on the host system. |
| theshit is a command-line utility that automatically detects and fixes common mistakes in shell commands. Prior to version 0.1.1, the application loads custom Python rules and configuration files from user-writable locations (e.g., `~/.config/theshit/`) without validating ownership or permissions when executed with elevated privileges. If the tool is invoked with `sudo` or otherwise runs with an effective UID of root, it continues to trust configuration files originating from the unprivileged user's environment. This allows a local attacker to inject arbitrary Python code via a malicious rule or configuration file, which is then executed with root privileges. Any system where this tool is executed with elevated privileges is affected. In environments where the tool is permitted to run via `sudo` without a password (`NOPASSWD`), a local unprivileged user can escalate privileges to root without additional interaction. The issue has been fixed in version 0.1.1. The patch introduces strict ownership and permission checks for all configuration files and custom rules. The application now enforces that rules are only loaded if they are owned by the effective user executing the tool. When executed with elevated privileges (`EUID=0`), the application refuses to load any files that are not owned by root or that are writable by non-root users. When executed as a non-root user, it similarly refuses to load rules owned by other users. This prevents both vertical and horizontal privilege escalation via execution of untrusted code. If upgrading is not possible, users should avoid executing the application with `sudo` or as the root user. As a temporary mitigation, ensure that directories containing custom rules and configuration files are owned by root and are not writable by non-root users. Administrators may also audit existing custom rules before running the tool with elevated privileges. |
| Local privilege escalation through insecure DCOM configuration in Valmet DNA versions prior to C2023. The DCOM object Valmet DNA Engineering has permissions that allow it to run commands as a user with the SeImpersonatePrivilege privilege. The SeImpersonatePrivilege privilege is a Windows permission that allows a process to impersonate another user. An attacker can use this vulnerability to escalate their privileges and take complete control of the system. |
| Ceph is a distributed object, block, and file storage platform. In versions 17.2.7, 18.2.1 through 18.2.4, and 19.0.0 through 19.2.2, an unprivileged user can escalate to root privileges in a ceph-fuse mounted CephFS by chmod 777 a directory owned by root to gain access. The result of this is that a user could read, write and execute to any directory owned by root as long as they chmod 777 it. This impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability. It is patched in versions 17.2.8, 18.2.5, and 19.2.3. |
| The Spectra Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.1.5. This is due to the plugin allowing lower-privileged users to create registration forms and set the default role to administrator This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with author-level access and above, to create administrator-level accounts. |
| The Altiris Core Agent Updater package (AeXNSC.exe) is prone to an elevation of privileges vulnerability through DLL hijacking. |
| A vulnerability has been identified in the installation/uninstallation of the Nessus Agent Tray App on Windows Hosts which could lead to escalation of privileges. |
| A non-primary administrator user with admin rights to the web interface but without shell access permissions can display configuration of the device including the master admin password. This vulnerability also allows the user to give themselves shell access with the root gid. |
| The Platform component of Mitel OpenScape 4000 and OpenScape 4000 Manager through V10 R1.54.1 and V11 through R0.22.1 could allow an authenticated attacker to conduct a privilege escalation attack due to the execution of a resource with unnecessary privileges. A successful exploit could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with elevated privileges. |
| 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 |
| A Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in SUSE rancher in RoleTemplateobjects when external=true is set can lead to privilege escalation in specific scenarios.This issue affects rancher: from 2.7.0 before 2.7.14, from 2.8.0 before 2.8.5. |
| Insufficient privilege verification in Reolink Smart 2K+ Plug-in Wi-Fi Video Doorbell with Chime - firmware v3.0.0.4662_2503122283 allows authenticated attackers to create accounts with elevated privileges. |
| An Improper Access Control vulnerability in Advantech SUSI driver (susi.sys) allows attackers to read/write arbitrary memory, I/O ports, and MSRs, resulting in privilege escalation, arbitrary code execution, and information disclosure. This issue affects Advantech SUSI: 5.0.24335 and prior. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Astoundify Simple Registration for WooCommerce allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Simple Registration for WooCommerce: from n/a through 1.5.6. |
| VMware NSX contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability.
An authenticated malicious actor may exploit this vulnerability to obtain permissions from a separate group role than previously assigned. |
| The Homey theme for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 2.4.2. This is due to the plugin allowing users who are registering new accounts to set their own role. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to gain elevated privileges by creating an account with the Administrator, Editor, or Shop Manager role. |
| ZPanel includes a helper binary named zsudo, intended to allow restricted privilege escalation for administrative tasks. However, when misconfigured in /etc/sudoers, zsudo can be invoked by low-privileged users to execute arbitrary commands as root. This flaw enables local attackers with shell access to escalate privileges by writing a payload to a writable directory and executing it via zsudo. The vulnerability is particularly impactful in post-exploitation scenarios following web server compromise, where the attacker inherits access to zsudo. |
| Ubiquiti AirMax firmware version firmware version 8 allows attackers with physical access to gain a privileged command shell via the UART Debugging Port. |
