CVE-2024-5928 1 Vipre 1 Advanced Security 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
VIPRE Advanced Security PMAgent Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of VIPRE Advanced Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Patch Management Agent. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the agent to delete a file. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-22315.
CVE-2024-5742 2 Gnu, Redhat 2 Nano, Enterprise Linux 2026-06-17 N/A 6.7 MEDIUM
A vulnerability was found in GNU Nano that allows a possible privilege escalation through an insecure temporary file. If Nano is killed while editing, a file it saves to an emergency file with the permissions of the running user provides a window of opportunity for attackers to escalate privileges through a malicious symlink.
CVE-2024-5102 2 Avast, Microsoft 2 Antivirus, Windows 2026-06-17 N/A 7.0 HIGH
A sym-linked file accessed via the repair function in Avast Antivirus <24.2 on Windows may allow user to elevate privilege to delete arbitrary files or run processes as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The vulnerability exists within the "Repair" (settings -> troubleshooting -> repair) feature, which attempts to delete a file in the current user's AppData directory as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. A low-privileged user can make a pseudo-symlink and a junction folder and point to a file on the system. This can provide a low-privileged user an Elevation of Privilege to win a race-condition which will re-create the system files and make Windows callback to a specially-crafted file which could be used to launch a privileged shell instance. This issue affects Avast Antivirus prior to 24.2.
CVE-2024-57728 1 Simple-help 1 Simplehelp 2026-06-17 N/A 7.2 HIGH
SimpleHelp remote support software v5.5.7 and before allows admin users to upload arbitrary files anywhere on the file system by uploading a crafted zip file (i.e. zip slip). This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the host in the context of the SimpleHelp server user.
CVE-2024-56074 2026-06-17 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
gitingest before 9996a06 mishandles symbolic links that point outside of the base directory.
CVE-2024-54554 1 Apple 1 Macos 2026-06-17 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
This issue was addressed with improved handling of symlinks. This issue is fixed in macOS Sequoia 15.1. An app may be able to access sensitive user data.
CVE-2024-54189 1 Parallels 1 Parallels Desktop 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740). When a snapshot of a virtual machine is taken, a root service writes to a file owned by a normal user. By using a hard link, an attacker can write to an arbitrary file, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2024-53691 1 Qnap 2 Qts, Quts Hero 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
A link following vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow remote attackers who have gained user access to traverse the file system to unintended locations. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QTS 5.1.8.2823 build 20240712 and later QTS 5.2.0.2802 build 20240620 and later QuTS hero h5.1.8.2823 build 20240712 and later QuTS hero h5.2.0.2802 build 20240620 and later
CVE-2024-52561 1 Parallels 1 Parallels Desktop 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740). When a snapshot of a virtual machine is deleted, a root service verifies and modifies the ownership of the snapshot files. By using a symlink, an attacker can change the ownership of files owned by root to a lower-privilege user, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
CVE-2024-52542 1 Dell 1 Appsync 2026-06-17 N/A 4.4 MEDIUM
Dell AppSync, version 4.6.0.x, contain a Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to information tampering.
CVE-2024-52537 3 Dell, Linux, Microsoft 5 Dock Hd22q Firmware Update Utility, Dock Wd19 Firmware Update Utility, Dock Wd22tb4 Firmware Update Utility and 2 more 2026-06-17 N/A 6.3 MEDIUM
Dell Client Platform Firmware Update Utility contains an Improper Link Resolution vulnerability. A high privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges.
CVE-2024-52535 1 Dell 2 Supportassist For Business Pcs, Supportassist For Home Pcs 2026-06-17 N/A 7.1 HIGH
Dell SupportAssist for Home PCs versions 4.6.1 and prior and Dell SupportAssist for Business PCs versions 4.5.0 and prior, contain a symbolic link (symlink) attack vulnerability in the software remediation component. A low-privileged authenticated user could potentially exploit this vulnerability, gaining privileges escalation, leading to arbitrary deletion of files and folders from the system.
CVE-2024-52522 2026-06-17 N/A N/A
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Insecure handling of symlinks with --links and --metadata in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files, compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.68.2.
CVE-2024-52050 1 Trendmicro 1 Apex One 2026-06-17 N/A 7.8 HIGH
A LogServer arbitrary file creation vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One could allow a local attacker to escalate privileges on affected installations. Please note: an attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2024-51721 2026-06-17 N/A 7.3 HIGH
A code injection vulnerability in the SecuSUITE Server Web Administration Portal of SecuSUITE versions 5.0.420 and earlier could allow an attacker to potentially inject script commands or other executable content into the server that would run with root privilege.
CVE-2024-50404 1 Qnap 1 Qsync Central 2026-06-17 N/A 8.8 HIGH
