CVE-2026-23988 (GCVE-0-2026-23988)
Vulnerability from nvd – Published: 2026-01-22 21:52 – Updated: 2026-01-23 20:13
VLAI
Title
Rufus has Local Privilege Escalation via TOCTOU Race Condition in Fido Script Handling
Summary
Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives. Versions 4.11 and below contain a race condition (TOCTOU) in src/net.c during the creation, validation, and execution of the Fido PowerShell script. Since Rufus runs with elevated privileges (Administrator) but writes the script to the %TEMP% directory (writeable by standard users) without locking the file, a local attacker can replace the legitimate script with a malicious one between the file write operation and the execution step. This allows arbitrary code execution with Administrator privileges. This issue has been fixed in version 4.12_BETA.
Severity
7.3 (High)

CVE-2026-23988 (GCVE-0-2026-23988)
Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-01-22 21:52 – Updated: 2026-01-23 20:13

Title
Rufus has Local Privilege Escalation via TOCTOU Race Condition in Fido Script Handling
Summary
Rufus is a utility that helps format and create bootable USB flash drives. Versions 4.11 and below contain a race condition (TOCTOU) in src/net.c during the creation, validation, and execution of the Fido PowerShell script. Since Rufus runs with elevated privileges (Administrator) but writes the script to the %TEMP% directory (writeable by standard users) without locking the file, a local attacker can replace the legitimate script with a malicious one between the file write operation and the execution step. This allows arbitrary code execution with Administrator privileges. This issue has been fixed in version 4.12_BETA.
Severity
7.3 (High)

Exploitation: poc
Automatable: no
