Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, Published In May 2019 (Gain Privilege)

The Sitecore Rocks plugin before 2.1.149 for Sitecore allows an unauthenticated threat actor to inject malicious commands and code via the Sitecore Rocks Hard Rocks Service.

In Webbukkit Dynmap 3.0-beta-3 or below, due to a missing login check in servlet/MapStorageHandler.java, an attacker can see a map image without login even if victim enables login-required in setting.

Buildbot before 1.8.2 and 2.x before 2.3.1 accepts a user-submitted authorization token from OAuth and uses it to authenticate a user. If an attacker has a token allowing them to read the user details of a victim, they can login as the victim.

Insecure permissions of the section object Global\PandaDevicesAgentSharedMemory and the event Global\PandaDevicesAgentSharedMemoryChange in Panda products before 18.07.03 allow attackers to queue an event (as an encrypted JSON string) to the system service AgentSvc.exe, which leads to privilege escalation when the CmdLineExecute event is queued. This affects Panda Antivirus, Panda Antivirus Pro, Panda Dome, Panda Global Protection, Panda Gold Protection, and Panda Internet Security.

A potential incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability exists in the 3rd party pairing mechanism of the Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) before 9.8.907 that may result in a restricted app obtaining default app permissions. In order to exploit the vulnerability, the adversary needs to have successfully paired an app, which requires user interaction.

A potential improper access control vulnerability exists in the JSON-RPC interface of the Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) before 9.8.905 that may result in a successful denial of service of the SHC and connected sensors and actuators. In order to exploit the vulnerability, the adversary needs to have successfully paired an app or service, which requires user interaction.

A potential improper access control vulnerability exists in the backup mechanism of the Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) before 9.8.905 that may result in unauthorized download of a backup. In order to exploit the vulnerability, the adversary needs to download the backup directly after a backup triggered by a legitimate user has been completed.

A potential improper access control vulnerability exists in the JSON-RPC interface of the Bosch Smart Home Controller (SHC) before 9.8.905 that may result in reading or modification of the SHC's configuration or triggering and restoring backups. In order to exploit the vulnerability, the adversary needs to have successfully paired an app or service, which requires user interaction.

An issue was discovered in Singularity 3.1.0 to 3.2.0-rc2, a malicious user with local/network access to the host system (e.g. ssh) could exploit this vulnerability due to insecure permissions allowing a user to edit files within `/run/singularity/instances/sing/<user>/<instance>`. The manipulation of those files can change the behavior of the starter-suid program when instances are joined resulting in potential privilege escalation on the host.

In Symfony before 2.7.51, 2.8.x before 2.8.50, 3.x before 3.4.26, 4.x before 4.1.12, and 4.2.x before 4.2.7, a vulnerability would allow an attacker to authenticate as a privileged user on sites with user registration and remember me login functionality enabled. This is related to symfony/security.

The function getopt_simple as described in Advanced Bash Scripting Guide (ISBN 978-1435752184) allows privilege escalation and execution of commands when used in a shell script called, for example, via sudo.

An improper authentication vulnerability can be exploited through a race condition that occurs in Ellucian Banner Web Tailor 8.8.3, 8.8.4, and 8.9 and Banner Enterprise Identity Services 8.3, 8.3.1, 8.3.2, and 8.4, in conjunction with SSO Manager. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to steal a victim's session (and cause a denial of service) by repeatedly requesting the initial Banner Web Tailor main page with the IDMSESSID cookie set to the victim's UDCID, which in the case tested is the institutional ID. During a login attempt by a victim, the attacker can leverage the race condition and will be issued the SESSID that was meant for this victim.

The ViewUpgrades resource in Jira before version 7.13.4, from version 8.0.0 before version 8.0.4, and from version 8.1.0 before version 8.1.1 allows remote attackers who have obtained access to administrator's session to access the ViewUpgrades administrative resource without needing to re-authenticate to pass "WebSudo" through an improper access control vulnerability.

A Local Privilege Escalation in libqcocoa.dylib in Foxit Reader 3.1.0.0111 on macOS has been discovered due to an incorrect permission set.

A privilege escalation vulnerability in the administrative user interface of CA Technologies CA Strong Authentication 9.0.x, 8.2.x, 8.1.x, 8.0.x, 7.1.x and CA Risk Authentication 9.0.x, 8.2.x, 8.1.x, 8.0.x, 3.1.x allows an authenticated attacker to gain additional privileges in some cases where an account has customized and limited privileges.

Citrix ShareFile before 19.23 allows a downgrade from two-factor authentication to one-factor authentication. An attacker with access to the offline victim's otp physical token or virtual app (like google authenticator) is able to bypass the first authentication phase (username/password mechanism) and log-in using username/otp combination only (phase 2 of 2FA).

Creative Cloud Desktop Application (installer) versions 4.7.0.400 and earlier have an insecure library loading (dll hijacking) vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation.

Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.010.20069 and earlier, 2019.010.20069 and earlier, 2017.011.30113 and earlier version, and 2015.006.30464 and earlier have a security bypass vulnerability. Successful exploitation could lead to privilege escalation.

A CWE-287: Improper Authentication vulnerability exists in the NET55XX Encoder with firmware prior to version 2.1.9.7 which could cause impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability when a remote attacker crafts a malicious request to the encoder webUI.

GE Communicator, all versions prior to 4.0.517, allows a non-administrative user to replace the uninstaller with a malicious version, which could allow an attacker to gain administrator privileges to the system.

GE Communicator, all versions prior to 4.0.517, has a service running with system privileges that may allow an unprivileged user to perform certain administrative actions, which may allow the execution of scheduled scripts with system administrator privileges. This service is inaccessible to attackers if Windows default firewall settings are used by the end user.

An exploitable improper access control vulnerability exists in the bluetooth low energy functionality of Winco Fireworks FireFly FW-1007 V2.0. An attacker can connect to the device to trigger this vulnerability.

A bug in WhatsApp for Android's messaging logic would potentially allow a malicious individual who has taken over over a WhatsApp user's account to recover previously sent messages. This behavior requires independent knowledge of metadata for previous messages, which are not available publicly. This issue affects WhatsApp for Android 2.19.52 and 2.19.54 - 2.19.103, as well as WhatsApp Business for Android starting in v2.19.22 until v2.19.38.

A vulnerability in the REST API of Cisco Elastic Services Controller (ESC) could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to bypass authentication on the REST API. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of API requests. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted request to the REST API. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary actions through the REST API with administrative privileges on an affected system.

A vulnerability in the Secure Shell (SSH) authentication process of Cisco Small Business Switches software could allow an attacker to bypass client-side certificate authentication and revert to password authentication. The vulnerability exists because OpenSSH mishandles the authentication process. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by attempting to connect to the device via SSH. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to access the configuration as an administrative user if the default credentials are not changed. There are no workarounds available; however, if client-side certificate authentication is enabled, disable it and use strong password authentication. Client-side certificate authentication is disabled by default.
