Intego Antivirus for Windows versions up to 3.0.0.1 contains a link following vulnerability in its optimization module. This flaw allows local unprivileged users to delete arbitrary folders with SYSTEM privileges by exploiting improper link resolution. Attackers can replace a scanned duplicate file's directory with a junction to a sensitive system path and abuse Windows Installer rollback to execute code as SYSTEM.

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.

Intego Personal Backup, a macOS backup utility that allows users to create scheduled backups and bootable system clones, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. Backup task definitions are stored in a location writable by non-privileged users while being processed with elevated privileges. By crafting a malicious serialized task file, a local attacker can trigger arbitrary file writes to sensitive system locations, leading to privilege escalation to root.
