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. Credits: This vulnerability was discovered by Ceri Coburn at Pen Test Partners, who reported it responsibly to the vendor.

An issue in Reportico Web before v.8.1.0 allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code and obtain sensitive information via the sessionid function.

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.

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.

A lack of code signature verification in Parallels Desktop for Mac v19.3.0 and below allows attackers to escalate privileges via a crafted macOS installer, because Parallels Service is setuid root.

An issue in SiSoftware SANDRA v31.66 (SANDRA.sys 15.18.1.1) and before allows an attacker to escalate privileges via a crafted buffer sent to the Kernel Driver using the DeviceIoControl Windows API.

Nintendo Wii U OS 5.5.5 allows man-in-the-middle attackers to forge SSL certificates as though they came from a Root CA, because there is a secondary verification mechanism that only checks whether a CA is known and ignores the CA details and signature (and because * is accepted as a Common Name).

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.

Lack of Client Validation in Jamf Compliance Editor's Helper Service May Result in Privilege Escalation

The XPC service within the audit functionality of Jamf Compliance Editor before version 1.3.1 on macOS can lead to local privilege escalation.

An issue in ETSI Open-Source MANO (OSM) 14.0.x before 14.0.3, 15.0.x before 15.0.2, 16.0.0, and 17.0.0 allows a remote authenticated attacker to escalate privileges via the /osm/admin/v1/users component.

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.

JetFormBuilder <= 3.3.4.1 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Privilege Escalation

The JetFormBuilder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in all versions up to, and including, 3.3.4.1. This is due to improper restriction on user meta fields. This makes it possible for authenticated attackers, with administrator-level and above permissions, to register as super-admins on the sites configured as multi-sites.

Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks 2.2.85 - 2.3.3 - Unauthenticated Privilege Escalation

The Post Grid and Gutenberg Blocks plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to privilege escalation in versions 2.2.85 to 2.3.3. This is due to the plugin not properly restricting what user meta can be updated during profile registration. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register on the site as an administrator.

On Arista CloudVision systems (virtual or physical on-premise deployments), Zero Touch Provisioning can be used to gain admin privileges on the CloudVision system, with more permissions than necessary, which can be used to query or manipulate system state

On Arista CloudVision systems (virtual or physical on-premise deployments), Zero Touch Provisioning can be used to gain admin privileges on the CloudVision system, with more permissions than necessary, which can be used to query or manipulate system state for devices under management. Note that CloudVision as-a-Service is not affected.

By making minor configuration changes to the TropOS 4th Gen device, an authenticated user with the ability to run user level shell commands can enable access via secure shell (SSH) to an unrestricted root shell. This is possible through abuse of a particular set of scripts and executables that allow for certain commands to be run as root from an unprivileged context.

Privilege escalation for users who hold the “splunk_app_soar“ role in the Splunk App for SOAR

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.
