CVSS v3.1 |
| On Windows endpoints, the SecureConnector agent must run under the local SYSTEM account or another administrator account in order to enable full functionality of the agent. The typical configuration is for the agent to run as a Windows service under the local SYSTEM account. The SecureConnector agent runs various plugin scripts and executables on the endpoint in order to gather and report information about the host to the CounterACT management appliance. The SecureConnector agent downloads these scripts and executables as needed from the CounterACT management appliance and runs them on the endpoint. The SecureConnector agent fails to set any permissions on downloaded file objects. This allows a malicious user to take ownership of any of these files and make modifications to it, regardless of where the files are saved. These files are then executed under SYSTEM privileges. A malicious unprivileged user can overwrite these executable files with malicious code before the SecureConnector agent executes them, causing the malicious code to be run under the SYSTEM account. |
| NetIQ eDirectory versions prior to 9.0.2, under some circumstances, could be susceptible to downgrade of communication security. |
| An issue where WebExtensions can use the mozAddonManager API to elevate privilege due to privileged pages being allowed in the permissions list. This allows a malicious extension to then install additional extensions without explicit user permission. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50. |
| WebExtensions can bypass security checks to load privileged URLs and potentially escape the WebExtension sandbox. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50. |
| A maliciously crafted page loaded to the sidebar through a bookmark can reference a privileged chrome window and engage in limited JavaScript operations violating cross-origin protections. This vulnerability affects Firefox < 50. |
| The Windows installer that the Apache CouchDB team provides was vulnerable to local privilege escalation. All files in the install inherit the file permissions of the parent directory and therefore a non-privileged user can substitute any executable for the nssm.exe service launcher, or CouchDB batch or binary files. A subsequent service or server restart will then run that binary with administrator privilege. This issue affected CouchDB 2.0.0 (Windows platform only) and was addressed in CouchDB 2.0.0.1. |
| It was discovered that EAP packages in certain versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux use incorrect permissions for /etc/sysconfig/jbossas configuration files. The file is writable to jboss group (root:jboss, 664). On systems using classic /etc/init.d init scripts (i.e. on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and earlier), the file is sourced by the jboss init script and its content executed with root privileges when jboss service is started, stopped, or restarted. |
| Jboss jbossas before versions 5.2.0-23, 6.4.13, 7.0.5 is vulnerable to an unsafe file handling in the jboss init script which could result in local privilege escalation. |
| Red Hat Keycloak before version 2.4.0 did not correctly check permissions when handling service account user deletion requests sent to the rest server. An attacker with service account authentication could use this flaw to bypass normal permissions and delete users in a separate realm. |
| A remote privilege elevation vulnerability in HPE Matrix Operating Environment version 7.6 was found. |
| A remote priviledge escalation vulnerability in HPE Matrix Operating Environment version 7.6 was found. |
| A Remote Escalation of Privilege vulnerability in HPE Helion Eucalyptus version 3.3.0 through 4.3.1 was found. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability in Qualcomm closed source components. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-31625756. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability in Qualcomm closed source components. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-28823724. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability in Qualcomm closed source components. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-28823575. |
| An elevation of privilege vulnerability in the NVIDIA GPU driver. Product: Android. Versions: Android kernel. Android ID: A-31799863. References: N-CVE-2016-8482. |
| A privilege escalation flaw was found in the Ansible Tower. When Tower before 3.0.3 deploys a PostgreSQL database, it incorrectly configures the trust level of postgres user. An attacker could use this vulnerability to gain admin level access to the database. |
| It was found that the improper default permissions on /tmp/auth directory in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform before 7.1.0 can allow any local user to connect to CLI and allow the user to execute any arbitrary operations. |
| It has been reported that KIE server and Busitess Central before version 7.21.0.Final contain username and password as plaintext Java properties. Any app deployed on the same server would have access to these properties, thus granting access to ther services. |
| A privilege escalation vulnerability exists when loading DLLs during boot up and reboot in Symantec IT Management Suite 8.0 prior to 8.0 HF4 and Suite 7.6 prior to 7.6 HF7, Symantec Ghost Solution Suite 3.1 prior to 3.1 MP4, Symantec Endpoint Virtualization 7.x prior to 7.6 HF7, and Symantec Encryption Desktop 10.x prior to 10.4.1, which could let a local malicious user execute arbitrary code. |
