This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of NoMachine.  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 the service account. Was ZDI-CAN-26766."

      "value": "Vulnerabilidad de Escalada de Privilegios Local por Elemento de Ruta de Búsqueda No Controlado en NoMachine. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en instalaciones afectadas de NoMachine. Un atacante debe primero obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con pocos privilegios en el sistema objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad.\n\nLa falla específica 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 la cuenta de servicio. Fue ZDI-CAN-26766."
