CVE-2020-27643 1 1e 1 Client 2024-11-21 4.0 MEDIUM 6.5 MEDIUM
The %PROGRAMDATA%\1E\Client directory in 1E Client 5.0.0.745 and 4.1.0.267 allows remote authenticated users and local users to create and modify files in protected directories (where they would not normally have access to create or modify files) via the creation of a junction point to a system directory. This leads to partial privilege escalation.
CVE-2020-27172 1 Gdatasoftware 1 G Data 2024-11-21 7.5 HIGH 9.8 CRITICAL
An issue was discovered in G-Data before 25.5.9.25 using Symbolic links, it is possible to abuse the infected-file restore mechanism to achieve arbitrary write that leads to elevation of privileges.
CVE-2020-26277 1 Dbdeployer 1 Dbdeployer 2024-11-21 4.0 MEDIUM 6.1 MEDIUM
DBdeployer is a tool that deploys MySQL database servers easily. In DBdeployer before version 1.58.2, users unpacking a tarball may use a maliciously packaged tarball that contains symlinks to files external to the target. In such scenario, an attacker could induce dbdeployer to write into a system file, thus altering the computer defenses. For the attack to succeed, the following factors need to contribute: 1) The user is logged in as root. While dbdeployer is usable as root, it was designed to run as unprivileged user. 2) The user has taken a tarball from a non secure source, without testing the checksum. When the tarball is retrieved through dbdeployer, the checksum is compared before attempting to unpack. This has been fixed in version 1.58.2.
CVE-2020-25989 1 Pritunl 1 Pritunl-client-electron 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation via arbitrary file write in pritunl electron client 1.0.1116.6 through v1.2.2550.20. Successful exploitation of the issue may allow an attacker to execute code on the effected system with root privileges.
CVE-2020-25776 1 Trendmicro 1 Antivirus 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac 2020 (Consumer) is vulnerable to a symbolic link privilege escalation attack where an attacker could exploit a critical file on the system to escalate their privileges. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2020-25744 1 Safervpn 1 Safervpn 2024-11-21 5.5 MEDIUM 8.1 HIGH
SaferVPN before 5.0.3.3 on Windows could allow low-privileged users to create or overwrite arbitrary files, which could cause a denial of service (DoS) condition, because a symlink from %LOCALAPPDATA%\SaferVPN\Log is followed.
CVE-2020-25289 1 Avast 1 Secureline Vpn 2024-11-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
The VPN service in AVAST SecureLine before 5.6.4982.470 allows local users to write to arbitrary files via an Object Manager symbolic link from the log directory (which has weak permissions).
CVE-2020-25031 1 Canonical 1 Checkinstall 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
checkinstall 1.6.2, when used to create a package that contains a symlink, may trigger the creation of a mode 0777 executable file.
CVE-2020-24955 1 Superantispyware 1 Professional X 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
SUPERAntiSyware Professional X Trial 10.0.1206 is vulnerable to local privilege escalation because it allows unprivileged users to restore a malicious DLL from quarantine into the system32 folder via an NTFS directory junction, as demonstrated by a crafted ualapi.dll file that is detected as malware.
CVE-2020-24654 5 Canonical, Debian, Fedoraproject and 2 more 5 Ubuntu Linux, Debian Linux, Fedora and 2 more 2024-11-21 4.3 MEDIUM 3.3 LOW
In KDE Ark before 20.08.1, a crafted TAR archive with symlinks can install files outside the extraction directory, as demonstrated by a write operation to a user's home directory.
CVE-2020-24562 2 Microsoft, Trendmicro 2 Windows, Officescan 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in Trend Micro OfficeScan XG SP1 on Microsoft Windows may allow an attacker to create a hard link to any file on the system, which then could be manipulated to gain a privilege escalation and code execution. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. This CVE is similar, but not identical to CVE-2020-24556.
CVE-2020-24559 3 Apple, Microsoft, Trendmicro 6 Macos, Windows, Apex One and 3 more 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One, Worry-Free Business Security 10.0 SP1 and Worry-Free Business Security Services on macOS may allow an attacker to manipulate a certain binary to load and run a script from a user-writable folder, which then would allow them to execute arbitrary code as root. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
CVE-2020-24556 3 Apple, Microsoft, Trendmicro 5 Macos, Windows, Apex One and 2 more 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A vulnerability in Trend Micro Apex One, OfficeScan XG SP1, Worry-Free Business Security 10 SP1 and Worry-Free Business Security Services on Microsoft Windows may allow an attacker to create a hard link to any file on the system, which then could be manipulated to gain a privilege escalation and code execution. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. Please note that version 1909 (OS Build 18363.719) of Microsoft Windows 10 mitigates hard links, but previous versions are affected.
CVE-2020-24332 2 Fedoraproject, Trustedcomputinggroup 2 Fedora, Trousers 2024-11-21 4.9 MEDIUM 5.5 MEDIUM
An issue was discovered in TrouSerS through 0.3.14. If the tcsd daemon is started with root privileges, the creation of the system.data file is prone to symlink attacks. The tss user can be used to create or corrupt existing files, which could possibly lead to a DoS attack.
CVE-2020-23968 1 Ilex 1 International Sign\&go 2024-11-21 6.9 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Ilex International Sign&go Workstation Security Suite 7.1 allows elevation of privileges via a symlink attack on ProgramData\Ilex\S&G\Logs\000-sngWSService1.log.
CVE-2020-1885 1 Oculus 1 Desktop 2024-11-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
Writing to an unprivileged file from a privileged OVRRedir.exe process in Oculus Desktop before 1.44.0.32849 on Windows allows local users to write to arbitrary files and consequently gain privileges via vectors involving a hard link to a log file.
CVE-2020-17365 1 Pango 1 Hotspot Shield 2024-11-21 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Improper directory permissions in the Hotspot Shield VPN client software for Windows 10.3.0 and earlier may allow an authorized user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access. The vulnerability allows a local user to corrupt system files: a local user can create a specially crafted symbolic link to a critical file on the system and overwrite it with privileges of the application.
