GHSA-JQQW-5C3X-2CJX

Vulnerability from github – Published: 2025-12-17 21:30 – Updated: 2025-12-18 21:31

Details

Miniconda3 macOS installers before 23.11.0-1 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability when installed outside the user's home directory. During installation, world-writable files are created and executed with root privileges. This flaw allows a local low-privileged user to inject arbitrary commands, leading to code execution as the root user.

Severity ?

7.8 (High)


                  
                    CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
