kibana: missing authorization issue (ESA-2022-03)

A flaw was discovered in Kibana in which users with Read access to the Uptime feature could modify alerting rules. A user with this privilege would be able to create new alerting rules or overwrite existing ones. However, any new or modified rules would not be enabled, and a user with this privilege could not modify alerting connectors. This effectively means that Read users could disable existing alerting rules.

elasticsearch: privilege escalation vulnerability (ESA-2022-02)

A flaw was discovered in Elasticsearch 7.17.0’s upgrade assistant, in which upgrading from version 6.x to 7.x would disable the in-built protections on the security index, allowing authenticated users with “*” index permissions access to this index.

Dell PowerScale OneFS, versions 8.2.0-9.3.0, contains an Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions vulnerability. An remote malicious user could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to gaining write permissions on read-only files.

BD Pyxis™ Products – Default Credentials

Specific BD Pyxis™ products were installed with default credentials and may presently still operate with these credentials. There may be scenarios where BD Pyxis™ products are installed with the same default local operating system credentials or domain-joined server(s) credentials that may be shared across product types. If exploited, threat actors may be able to gain privileged access to the underlying file system and could potentially exploit or gain access to ePHI or other sensitive information.

PHOENIX CONTACT: FL SWITCH 2xxx series incorrect privilege assignment

In Phoenix Contact FL SWITCH Series 2xxx in version 3.00 an incorrect privilege assignment allows an low privileged user to enable full access to the device configuration.

IBM Db2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows 9.7, 10.1, 10.5, 11.1, and 11.5 may be vulnerable to an information disclosure caused by improper privilege management when table function is used. IBM X-Force ID: 221973.

(Applicable to China models only) Unprotected WifiEvaluationService in TencentWifiSecurity application prior to SMR Jan-2022 Release 1 allows untrusted applications to get WiFi information without proper permission.

Unprotected dynamic receiver in SecSettings prior to SMR Jan-2022 Release 1 allows untrusted applications to launch arbitrary activity.

The customization framework has a vulnerability of improper permission control.Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may affect data integrity.

JIMS: Local Privilege Escalation vulnerability via repair functionality

An Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in the Windows Installer framework used in the Juniper Networks Juniper Identity Management Service (JIMS) allows an unprivileged user to trigger a repair operation. Running a repair operation, in turn, will trigger a number of file operations in the %TEMP% folder of the user triggering the repair. Some of these operations will be performed from a SYSTEM context (started via the Windows Installer service), including the execution of temporary files. An attacker may be able to provide malicious binaries to the Windows Installer, which will be executed with high privilege, leading to a local privilege escalation. This issue affects Juniper Networks Juniper Identity Management Service (JIMS) versions prior to 1.4.0.

'Long-term Data Archive Package' service implemented in the following Yokogawa Electric products creates some named pipe with imporper ACL configuration. CENTUM CS 3000 versions from R3.08.10 to R3.09.00, CENTUM VP versions from R4.01.00 to R4.03.00, from R5.01.00 to R5.04.20, and from R6.01.00 to R6.08.00, Exaopc versions from R3.72.00 to R3.79.00.

An improper privilege vulnerability has been discovered in Citrix Gateway Plug-in for Windows (Citrix Secure Access for Windows) <21.9.1.2 what could allow an attacker who has gained local access to a computer with Citrix Gateway Plug-in installed, to corrupt or delete files as SYSTEM.

kernel: possible to use the debugger to write zero into a location of choice

KGDB and KDB allow read and write access to kernel memory, and thus should be restricted during lockdown. An attacker with access to a serial port could trigger the debugger so it is important that the debugger respect the lockdown mode when/if it is triggered. CVSS 3.1 Base Score 6.7 (Confidentiality, Integrity and Availability impacts). CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H).

Cisco Nexus Dashboard Privilege Escalation Vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities in Cisco Nexus Dashboard could allow an authenticated, local attacker to elevate privileges on an affected device. These vulnerabilities are due to insufficient input validation during CLI command execution on an affected device. An attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by authenticating as the rescue-user and executing vulnerable CLI commands using a malicious payload. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to elevate privileges to root on an affected device.

Cisco IOS XE Software for Embedded Wireless Controllers on Catalyst Access Points Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the self-healing functionality of Cisco IOS XE Software for Embedded Wireless Controllers on Catalyst Access Points could allow an authenticated, local attacker to escape the restricted controller shell and execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system of the access point. This vulnerability is due to improper checks throughout the restart of certain system processes. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging on to an affected device and executing certain CLI commands. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying OS as root. To successfully exploit this vulnerability, an attacker would need valid credentials for a privilege level 15 user of the wireless controller.

Cisco Identity Services Engine Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from an affected device. This vulnerability exists because administrative privilege levels for sensitive data are not properly enforced. An attacker with read-only privileges for the web-based management interface on an affected device could exploit this vulnerability by browsing to a page that contains sensitive data. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to collect sensitive information about the system configuration.

Cisco Identity Services Engine Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the web-based management interface of Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to obtain sensitive information from an affected device. This vulnerability is due to improper enforcement of administrative privilege levels for high-value sensitive data. An attacker with read-only Administrator privileges to the web-based management interface on an affected device could exploit this vulnerability by browsing to a page that contains sensitive data. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to collect sensitive information regarding the configuration of the system.

Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

A vulnerability in the CLI of Cisco SD-WAN vManage Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying operating system as the root user. The attacker must be authenticated on the affected system as a low-privileged user to exploit this vulnerability. This vulnerability exists because a file leveraged by a root user is executed when a low-privileged user runs specific commands on an affected system. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by injecting arbitrary commands to a specific file as a lower-privileged user and then waiting until an admin user executes specific commands. The commands would then be executed on the device by the root user. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to escalate their privileges on the affected system from a low-privileged user to the root user.
