CVSS v3.1 |
| Privilege chaining issue exists in the installer of e-Tax software(common program). If this vulnerability is exploited, a malicious DLL prepared by an attacker may be executed with higher privileges than the application privilege. |
| GMOD Apollo does not have sufficient logical or access checks when updating a user's information. This could result in an attacker being able to escalate privileges for themselves or others. |
| A vulnerability in the NetExtender Windows client log export function allows unauthorized access to sensitive Windows system files, potentially leading to privilege escalation. |
| Insecure permissions in fail2ban-client v0.11.2 allows attackers with limited sudo privileges to perform arbitrary operations as root. NOTE: this is disputed by multiple parties because the action for a triggered rule can legitimately be an arbitrary operation as root. Thus, the software is behaving in accordance with its intended privilege model. |
| In ESPEC North America Web Controller 3 before 3.3.8, an attacker with physical access can gain elevated privileges because GRUB and the BIOS are unprotected. |
| In ESPEC North America Web Controller 3 before 3.3.8, /api/v4/auth/ users session privileges are not revoked on logout. |
| A
CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management vulnerability exists that could cause privilege escalation when the
server is accessed by a privileged account via a console and through exploitation of a setup script. |
| 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. |
| Actors can use a maliciously crafted JavaScript object notation (JSON) web token (JWT) to perform privilege escalation by submitting the malicious JWT to a vulnerable method exposed on the cloud platform. If the exploit is successful, the user can escalate privileges to access any device managed by the
ABUP Cloud Update Platform. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| An issue in TeraByte Unlimited Image for Windows v.3.64.0.0 and before and fixed in v.4.0.0.0 allows a local attacker to escalate privileges via the TBOFLHelper64.sys and TBOFLHelper.sys component. |
| An issue in hackathon-starter v.8.1.0 allows a remote attacker to escalate privileges via the user.js component. |
| An issue in MarvinTest Solutions Hardware Access Driver v.5.0.3.0 and before and fixed in v.5.0.4.0 allows a local attacker to escalate privileges via the Hw65.sys component. |
| A security flaw has been discovered in elunez eladmin 1.1. Impacted is the function deleteFile of the component LocalStorageController. The manipulation results in improper authorization. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been released to the public and may be exploited. |
| MCSManager 10.5.3 daemon process runs as a root account by default, and its sensitive data (including tokens and terminal content) is stored in the data directory, readable by all users. Other users on the system can read the daemon's key and use it to log in, leading to privilege escalation. |
| 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.

| 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. |
| The School Management System – SakolaWP plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 1.0.8. This is due to the registration function not properly limiting what roles a user can register as. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register as an administrative user. |
| Incorrect Privilege Assignment vulnerability in bPlugins Voice Feedback voice-feedback allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Voice Feedback: from n/a through <= 1.0.3. |
