| 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. |
| 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. |
| In Malwarebytes For Teams v.1.0.990 and before and fixed in v.1.0.1003 and later a privilege escalation can occur via the COM interface running in mbamservice.exe. |
| 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.

| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in WP Sharks s2Member Pro allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects s2Member Pro: from n/a through 240315. |
| 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. |
| CMService.exe creates the C:\\usr directory and subdirectories with insecure permissions, granting write access to all authenticated users. This allows attackers to replace configuration files (such as snmp.conf) or hijack DLLs to escalate privileges. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in JR King/Eran Schoellhorn WP Masquerade allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects WP Masquerade: from n/a through 1.1.0. |
| Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in AA-Team WZone allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects WZone: from n/a through 14.0.10. |
| react-native-bottom-tabs is a library of Native Bottom Tabs for React Native. In versions 0.9.2 and below, the github/workflows/release-canary.yml GitHub Actions repository workflow improperly used the pull_request_target event trigger, which allowed for untrusted code from a forked pull request to be executed in a privileged context. An attacker could create a pull request containing a malicious preinstall script in the package.json file and then trigger the vulnerable workflow by posting a specific comment (!canary). This allowed for arbitrary code execution, leading to the exfiltration of sensitive secrets such as GITHUB_TOKEN and NPM_TOKEN, and could have allowed an attacker to push malicious code to the repository or publish compromised packages to the NPM registry. There is a remediation commit which removes github/workflows/release-canary.yml, but a version with this fix has yet to be released. |
| Improper privilege management vulnerability in Novakon P series allows attackers to gain root privileges if one service is compromized.This issue affects P series: P – V2001.A.C518o2 until P-2.0.05 Build
2026.02.06 (commit d0f97fd9). |
| A vulnerability has been identified when granting a create or * global role for a resource type of "namespaces"; no matter the API group, the subject will receive *
permissions for core namespaces. This can lead to someone being capable
of accessing, creating, updating, or deleting a namespace in the
project. |
| In ESPEC North America Web Controller 3 before 3.3.8, /api/v4/auth/ users session privileges are not revoked on logout. |
| Exposure of resource to wrong sphere in some Intel(R) DTT software installers may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. |
| In versions 1.0.67 and lower of the Splunk App for SOAR, the Splunk documentation for that app recommended adding the `admin_all_objects` capability to the `splunk_app_soar` role. This addition could lead to improper access control for a low-privileged user that does not hold the "admin" Splunk roles. |
| 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. |
| Improper privilege management vulnerability in Lunar software that affects versions 6.0.2 through 6.6.0. This vulnerability allows an attacker to perform a secondary process injection into the Lunar application and abuse those rights to access sensitive user information. |
| An issue discovered in MSP360 Backup Agent v7.8.5.15 and v7.9.4.84 allows attackers to obtain network share credentials used in a backup due to enginesettings.list being encrypted with a hard coded key. |
