CVE-2024-14047

Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.

Description

A local vulnerability in the Winlogbeat Windows installer caused runtime files to be placed in a directory writable by unprivileged users. A low-privileged attacker with existing access to the system could pre-position malicious filesystem links, causing a subsequent elevated Winlogbeat operation to write to or delete arbitrary files. Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service.

Un atacante de bajo privilegio con acceso previo al sistema podría preposicionar enlaces maliciosos del sistema de archivos, lo que haría que una operación posterior de Winlogbeat con privilegios elevados escribiera o eliminara archivos arbitrarios. La explotación exitosa podría resultar en una denegación de servicio."
