The VAPIX Edge storage API that allowed a privilege escalation, enabling a VAPIX administrator-privileged user to gain Linux Root privileges. This flaw can only be exploited after authenticating with an administrator-privileged service account.
Dell Display and Peripheral Manager, versions prior to 2.1.2.12, contains an Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability in the Installer. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges.
IBM Db2 12.1.0 through 12.1.3 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (includes Db2 Connect Server) under specific configurations could allow a local user to execute malicious code that escalate their privileges to root due to execution of unnecessary privileges operated at a higher than minimum level.
A maliciously crafted file, when executed on the victim's machine, can lead to privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM due to an insufficient validation of loaded binaries. An attacker with local and low-privilege access could exploit this to execute code as SYSTEM.
Dell Command Monitor (DCM), versions prior to 10.12.3.28, contains an Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Elevation of Privileges.
IBM InfoSphere Information Server 11.7.0.0 through 11.7.1.6 could allow a non-root user to gain higher privileges/capabilities within the scope of a container due to execution with unnecessary privileges.
CVE-2025-34274 is a critical vulnerability in Nagios Log Server versions prior to 2024R2.0.3 where the embedded Logstash process runs with root privileges. An attacker exploiting this flaw via insecure plugins, pipeline configuration injection, or input parsing vulnerabilities could execute arbitrary code with root access, leading to full system compromise. The vulnerability arises from execution with unnecessary privileges (CWE-250). Nagios has mitigated this risk in newer versions by running Logstash under a lower-privileged 'nagios' user. The CVSS 4.0 score is 9.3, reflecting the high impact and ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction. European organizations using affected Nagios Log Server versions face significant risks, especially critical infrastructure and enterprises relying on this logging solution.
IBM Sterling Connect Direct for Unix 6.2.0.7 through 6.2.0.9 iFix004, 6.4.0.0 through 6.4.0.2 iFix001, and 6.3.0.2 through 6.3.0.5 iFix002 incorrectly assigns permissions for maintenance tasks to Control Center Director (CCD) users that could allow a privileged user to escalate their privileges further due to unnecessary privilege assignment for post update scripts.
API users via `/api/v2/dagReports` could perform Dag code execution in the context of the api-server if the api-server was deployed in the environment where Dag files were available.
HP ThinPro 8.1 System management application failed to verify user's true id. HP has released HP ThinPro 8.1 SP8, which includes updates to mitigate potential vulnerabilities.
An Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability has been identified in Moxa’s network security appliances and routers. A critical authorization flaw in the API allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to create a new administrator account, including accounts with usernames identical to existing users. In certain scenarios, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to gain full administrative control over the affected device, leading to potential account impersonation. While successful exploitation can severely impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device itself, there is no loss of confidentiality or integrity within any subsequent systems.
An Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability has been identified in Moxa’s network security appliances and routers. A flaw in the API authorization logic of the affected device allows an authenticated, low-privileged user to execute the administrative `ping` function, which is restricted to higher-privileged roles. This vulnerability enables the user to perform internal network reconnaissance, potentially discovering internal hosts or services that would otherwise be inaccessible. Repeated exploitation could lead to minor resource consumption. While the overall impact is limited, it may result in some loss of confidentiality and availability on the affected device. There is no impact on the integrity of the device, and the vulnerability does not affect any subsequent systems.
An Execution with Unnecessary Privileges vulnerability has been identified in Moxa’s network security appliances and routers. A flaw in broken access control has been identified in the /api/v1/setting/data endpoint of the affected device. This flaw allows a low-privileged authenticated user to call the API without the required permissions, thereby gaining the ability to access or modify system configuration data. Successful exploitation may lead to privilege escalation, allowing the attacker to access or modify sensitive system settings. While the overall impact is high, there is no loss of confidentiality or integrity within any subsequent systems.
Ilevia EVE X1 Server firmware versions ≤ 4.7.18.0.eden contain an execution with unnecessary privileges vulnerability in sync_project.sh that allows an attacker to escalate privileges to root. Ilevia has declined to service this vulnerability, and recommends that customers not expose port 8080 to the internet.
Icinga 2 is an open source monitoring system. From 2.10.0 to before 2.15.1, 2.14.7, and 2.13.13, the safe-reload script (also used during systemctl reload icinga2) and logrotate configuration shipped with Icinga 2 read the PID of the main Icinga 2 process from a PID file writable by the daemon user, but send the signal as the root user. This can allow the Icinga user to send signals to processes it would otherwise not permitted to. A fix is included in the following Icinga 2 versions: 2.15.1, 2.14.7, and 2.13.13.
A vulnerability exists in F5OS-A and F5OS-C system that may allow an authenticated attacker with local access to escalate their privileges. A successful exploit may allow the attacker to cross a security boundary. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A vulnerability exists in an undisclosed iControl REST and BIG-IP TMOS Shell (tmsh) command that may allow an authenticated attacker with at least resource administrator role to execute arbitrary system commands with higher privileges. A successful exploit can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
A vulnerability exists in the iHealth command that may allow an authenticated attacker with at least a resource administrator role to bypass tmsh restrictions and gain access to a bash shell. For BIG-IP systems running in Appliance mode, a successful exploit can allow the attacker to cross a security boundary. Note: Software versions which have reached End of Technical Support (EoTS) are not evaluated.
