CVSS v3.1 |
| Improper privilege management in Yugabyte Platform allows authenticated admin users to escalate privileges to SuperAdmin via a crafted PUT HTTP request, potentially leading to unauthorized access to sensitive system functions and data. |
| On affected versions of the Arista CloudVision Portal (CVP on-prem), the time-bound device onboarding token can be used to gain admin privileges on CloudVision. |
| 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.

| The WordPress Video Robot - The Ultimate Video Importer plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation due to insufficient validation on user meta that can be updated in the wpvr_rate_request_result() function in all versions up to, and including, 1.20.0. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with subscriber-level access and above, to update their user meta on a WordPress site. This can be leveraged to update their capabilities to that of an administrator. |
| 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. |
| SoftIron HyperCloud 2.5.0 through 2.6.3 may incorrectly add user SSH keys to the administrator-level authorized keys under certain conditions, allowing unauthorized privilege escalation to admin via SSH. Affects non-production debug and internal development builds created between versions 2.5.0 and 2.6.3. No generally available (GA) or customer-released production builds were affected. There is no evidence that this issue was exposed in customer environments or production deployments. |
| The default configuration in ETSI Open-Source MANO (OSM) v.14.x, v.15.x, v.16.x, v.17.x does not impose any restrictions on the authentication attempts performed by the default admin user, allowing a remote attacker to escalate privileges. |
| A vulnerability has been identified whereby privilege escalation checks are not properly enforced for RoleTemplateobjects when external=true, which in specific scenarios can lead to privilege escalation. |
| The service employed by Everything, running as SYSTEM, communicates with the lower privileged Everything GUI via a named pipe. The named pipe has a NULL DACL and thus provides all users full permission over it; leading to potential Service Denial Of Service or Privilege escalation(only if chained with other elements) for a local low privilege user. |
| Uncontrolled search path for some Intel(R) CST software before version 2.1.10300 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| The User Profile Builder WordPress plugin before 3.15.2 does not have a proper password reset process, allowing a few unauthenticated requests to reset the password of any user by knowing their username, such as administrator ones, and therefore gain access to their account |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Darren Cooney Instant Images allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Instant Images: from n/a through 6.1.0. |
| An issue in BambooHR Build v.25.0210.170831-83b08dd allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the /saml/index.php?r=" HTTP GET parameter. |
| The SolarWinds Dameware Mini Remote Control was determined to be affected by Incorrect Permissions Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability requires local access and a valid low privilege account to be susceptible to this vulnerability. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in ZTE GoldenDB allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects GoldenDB: from 6.1.03 through 6.1.03.05. |
| Kanister is a data protection workflow management tool. The kanister has a deployment called default-kanister-operator, which is bound with a ClusterRole called edit via ClusterRoleBinding. The "edit" ClusterRole is one of Kubernetes default-created ClusterRole, and it has the create/patch/udpate verbs of daemonset resources, create verb of serviceaccount/token resources, and impersonate verb of serviceaccounts resources. A malicious user can leverage access the worker node which has this component to make a cluster-level privilege escalation. |
| Chef InSpec versions up to 5.23 and before 7.0.107 creates named pipes with overly permissive default Windows access controls. A local attacker may interfere with the pipe connection process and exploit the insufficient access restrictions to assume the InSpec execution context, potentially resulting in elevated privileges or operational disruption.
This issue affects Chef Inspec: through 5.23 and before 7.0.107 |
| A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in X1a0He Adobe Downloader up to 1.3.1 on macOS. Affected is the function shouldAcceptNewConnection of the file com.x1a0he.macOS.Adobe-Downloader.helper of the component XPC Service. The manipulation leads to improper privilege management. An attack has to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. This product is not affiliated with the company Adobe. |
| A flaw exists in FlashBlade whereby a local account is permitted to authenticate to the management interface using an unintended method that allows an attacker to gain privileged access to the array. |
| The LifterLMS – WP LMS for eLearning, Online Courses, & Quizzes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation. This is due to the plugin not properly validating a user's identity prior to allowing them to modify their own role via the REST API. The permission check in the update_item_permissions_check() function returns true when a user updates their own account without verifying the role changes. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with student-level access and above, to escalate their privileges to administrator by updating their own roles array via a crafted REST API request. Another endpoint intended for instructors also provides an attack vector. Affected version ranges are 3.5.3-3.41.2, 4.0.0-4.21.3, 5.0.0-5.10.0, 6.0.0-6.11.0, 7.0.0-7.8.7, 8.0.0-8.0.7, 9.0.0-9.0.7, 9.1.0. |
