5) Incorrect authorization

EUVDB-ID: #VU100998

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-9902

CWE-ID: CWE-863 - Incorrect Authorization

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the ansible-core `user` module. A local user can silently create or replace the contents of any file on any system path and take ownership of it when a privileged user executes the `user` module against the unprivileged user's home directory. If the unprivileged user has traversal permissions on the directory containing the exploited target file, they retain full control over the contents of the file as its owner.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-11168

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass security restrictions.
