Published: Thu Feb 12 2026 (02/12/2026, 21:58:19 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Intego
Product: Log Reporter

Description

Intego Log Reporter, a macOS diagnostic utility bundled with Intego security products that collects system and application logs for support analysis, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A root-executed diagnostic script creates and writes files in /tmp without enforcing secure directory handling, introducing a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. A local unprivileged user can exploit a symlink-based race condition to cause arbitrary file writes to privileged system locations, resulting in privilege escalation to root.

Technical Analysis

Intego Log Reporter contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability (CWE-367) in a root-executed diagnostic script that writes files to /tmp insecurely. This allows a local unprivileged user to exploit a symlink race condition to overwrite arbitrary files in privileged system locations, resulting in local privilege escalation to root. The vulnerability affects the version identified as '0' and is specific to macOS environments where Intego Log Reporter is installed. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates low attack complexity but requires local access and no user interaction, with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Potential Impact

Successful exploitation allows a local unprivileged user to escalate privileges to root by exploiting a race condition in file handling within Intego Log Reporter. This compromises system integrity and security by enabling arbitrary file writes to privileged locations. There are no known exploits in the wild at this time.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, restrict local user access to systems running Intego Log Reporter and monitor for suspicious activity related to /tmp file operations. Avoid running diagnostic scripts with root privileges where possible.
