CVE-2024-46062
Full vulnerability record from the local CVENow database.
Description
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.

Durante la instalación, se crean archivos con permisos de escritura para todos y se ejecutan con privilegios de root. Esta falla permite a un usuario local con pocos privilegios inyectar comandos arbitrarios, lo que lleva a la ejecución de código como usuario root."
