Lifecycle Timeline
3Description
Improper handling of symbolic links in the TeamViewer Full Client and Host for Windows - in versions prior to 15.70 of TeamViewer Remote and Tensor - allows an attacker with local, unprivileged access to a device lacking adequate malware protection to escalate privileges by spoofing the update file path. This may result in unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Analysis
Improper handling of symbolic links in the TeamViewer Full Client and Host for Windows - in versions prior to 15.70 of TeamViewer Remote and Tensor - allows an attacker with local, unprivileged access to a device lacking adequate malware protection to escalate privileges by spoofing the update file path. This may result in unauthorized access to sensitive information.
Technical Context
Privilege escalation allows a low-privileged user or process to gain elevated permissions beyond what was originally authorized. This vulnerability is classified as Improper Link Resolution Before File Access (CWE-59).
Remediation
Apply the principle of least privilege. Keep systems patched. Monitor for suspicious privilege changes. Use mandatory access controls (SELinux, AppArmor).
