This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Soda PDF Desktop. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.\n\nThe specific flaw exists within the configuration of OpenSSL. The product loads an OpenSSL configuration file from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-25793."

Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en instalaciones afectadas de Soda PDF Desktop. Un atacante debe primero obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con bajos privilegios en el sistema objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad.\\n\\nEl fallo específico existe dentro de la configuración de OpenSSL. El producto carga un archivo de configuración de OpenSSL desde una ubicación no segura. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de SYSTEM. Fue ZDI-CAN-25793."
