CVE-2023-28143 (GCVE-0-2023-28143)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-18 15:54 – Updated: 2025-02-05 20:25
VLAI?
Summary
Qualys Cloud Agent for macOS (versions 2.5.1-75 before 3.7)
installer allows a local escalation of privilege bounded only to the time of
installation and only on older macOSX (macOS 10.15 and older) versions.
Attackers may exploit incorrect file permissions to give them ROOT command
execution privileges on the host. During the install of the PKG, a step in the
process involves extracting the package and copying files to several
directories. Attackers may gain writable access to files during the install of
PKG when extraction of the package and copying files to several directories,
enabling a local escalation of privilege.

CVE-2023-28141 (GCVE-0-2023-28141)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2023-04-18 15:50 – Updated: 2025-03-03 19:22
VLAI?
Summary
An NTFS Junction condition exists in the Qualys Cloud Agent
for Windows platform in versions before 4.8.0.31. Attackers may write files to
arbitrary locations via a local attack vector. This allows attackers to assume
the privileges of the process, and they may delete or otherwise on unauthorized
files, allowing for the potential modification or deletion of sensitive files
limited only to that specific directory/file object. This vulnerability is
bounded to the time of installation/uninstallation and can only be exploited locally.
At the time of this disclosure, versions before 4.0 are
classified as End of Life.

VLAI?
Summary
An Executable Hijacking condition exists in the
Qualys Cloud Agent for Windows platform in versions before 4.5.3.1. Attackers
may load a malicious copy of a Dependency Link Library (DLL) via a local
attack vector instead of the DLL that the application was expecting, when
processes are running with escalated privileges. This vulnerability
is bounded only to the time of uninstallation and can only be exploited
locally.
At the time of this disclosure, versions before 4.0 are classified as End of
Life.

CVE-2023-28143 (GCVE-0-2023-28143)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2023-04-18 15:54 – Updated: 2025-02-05 20:25
VLAI?
Summary
Qualys Cloud Agent for macOS (versions 2.5.1-75 before 3.7)
installer allows a local escalation of privilege bounded only to the time of
installation and only on older macOSX (macOS 10.15 and older) versions.
Attackers may exploit incorrect file permissions to give them ROOT command
execution privileges on the host. During the install of the PKG, a step in the
process involves extracting the package and copying files to several
directories. Attackers may gain writable access to files during the install of
PKG when extraction of the package and copying files to several directories,
enabling a local escalation of privilege.
Severity ?
6.7 (Medium)

CVE-2023-28141 (GCVE-0-2023-28141)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2023-04-18 15:50 – Updated: 2025-03-03 19:22
VLAI?
Summary
An NTFS Junction condition exists in the Qualys Cloud Agent
for Windows platform in versions before 4.8.0.31. Attackers may write files to
arbitrary locations via a local attack vector. This allows attackers to assume
the privileges of the process, and they may delete or otherwise on unauthorized
files, allowing for the potential modification or deletion of sensitive files
limited only to that specific directory/file object. This vulnerability is
bounded to the time of installation/uninstallation and can only be exploited locally.
At the time of this disclosure, versions before 4.0 are
classified as End of Life.

Summary
An Executable Hijacking condition exists in the
Qualys Cloud Agent for Windows platform in versions before 4.5.3.1. Attackers
may load a malicious copy of a Dependency Link Library (DLL) via a local
attack vector instead of the DLL that the application was expecting, when
processes are running with escalated privileges. This vulnerability
is bounded only to the time of uninstallation and can only be exploited
locally.
At the time of this disclosure, versions before 4.0 are classified as End of
Life.
