CVSS v3.1 |
| WSS Agent, prior to 9.8.5, may be susceptible to a Elevation of Privilege 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. |
| Symantec Endpoint Protection, prior to 14.3 RU10 Patch 1, RU9 Patch 2, and RU8 Patch 3, may be susceptible to a Elevation of Privilege 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 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 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. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Favethemes Houzez Login Register allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Houzez Login Register: from n/a through 2.6.3. |
| 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. |
| Ariane Allegro Scenario Player through 2024-03-05, when Ariane Duo kiosk mode is used, allows physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information (such as hotel invoice content with PII), and potentially create unauthorized room keys, by entering a guest-search quote character and then accessing the underlying Windows OS. |
| CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management vulnerability exists for two services (of which one managing audit
trail data and the other acting as server managing client request) that could cause a loss of Confidentiality,
Integrity and Availability of engineering workstation when an attacker with standard privilege modifies the
executable path of the windows services. To be exploited, services need to be restarted. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in powerfulwp Local Delivery Drivers for WooCommerce allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Local Delivery Drivers for WooCommerce: from n/a through 1.9.0. |
| An issue in the BdApiUtil driver of Baidu Antivirus v5.2.3.116083 allows attackers to terminate arbitrary process via executing a BYOVD (Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver) attack. |
| Delinea Privilege Manager before 12.0.2 mishandles the security of the Windows agent. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Glowlogix WP Frontend Profile allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects WP Frontend Profile: from n/a through 1.3.1. |
| A vulnerability has been identified in Siemens License Server (SLS) (All versions < V4.3). The affected application searches for executable files in the application folder without proper validation.
This could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges by placing a malicious executable in the same directory. |
| Yubico ykman-gui (aka YubiKey Manager GUI) before 1.2.6 on Windows, when Edge is not used, allows privilege escalation because browser windows can open as Administrator. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in IOSS WP MLM Unilevel allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects WP MLM Unilevel: from n/a through 4.0. |
| A local privilege escalation vulnerability exists in lastore-daemon, the system package manager daemon used in Deepin Linux (developed by Wuhan Deepin Technology Co., Ltd.). In versions 0.9.53-1 (Deepin 15.5) and 0.9.66-1 (Deepin 15.7), the D-Bus configuration permits any user in the sudo group to invoke the InstallPackage method without password authentication. By default, the first user created on Deepin is in the sudo group. An attacker with shell access can craft a .deb package containing a malicious post-install script and use dbus-send to install it via lastore-daemon, resulting in arbitrary code execution as root. |
| An issue with WordPress directory names in WebPros WordPress Toolkit before 6.9.1 allows privilege escalation. |
| There is an improper privilege management vulnerability identified in ManageEngine's Asset Explorer, ServiceDesk Plus, ServiceDesk Plus MSP, and SupportCenter Plus products by Zohocorp.
This vulnerability impacts Asset Explorer versions before 7710, ServiceDesk Plus versions before 15110, ServiceDesk Plus MSP versions before 14940, and SupportCenter Plus versions before 14940. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in Geek Code Lab Login As Users allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects Login As Users: from n/a through 1.4.2. |
| CWE-269: Improper Privilege Management vulnerability exists that could cause privilege escalation and
arbitrary code execution when a privileged engineer user with console access modifies a configuration file
used by a root-level daemon to execute custom scripts. |
