Privilege escalation in Rockwell Automation's Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RMConfigTool.exe) enables a local standard user to execute arbitrary code with Administrator or SYSTEM privileges via DLL search order hijacking. The tool searches system PATH directories for required DLLs, and one or more of those directories have incorrect default permissions allowing write access by non-privileged accounts; if a malicious DLL is planted there before an administrator runs the tool, it loads into the elevated process. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, though the underlying technique is well-understood and commonly leveraged in post-exploitation privilege escalation chains.
DLL hijacking in Rockwell Automation's Redundancy Module Configuration Tool (RM3ConfigTool.exe) allows a local low-privileged attacker to escalate to Administrator or SYSTEM privileges by planting a malicious DLL in a writable system PATH directory before an administrator launches the utility. The root cause is CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions): the installer grants standard users write access to one or more directories that RM3ConfigTool.exe searches at runtime for a required DLL, enabling the classic DLL planting technique. No public exploit code has been identified at the time of analysis, and this CVE does not appear in the CISA KEV catalog.
Insecure default file permissions in the openssl_encrypt desktop GUI (jahlives/openssl_encrypt, all versions before 1.4.9) expose decrypted plaintext output files to any unprivileged local user on multi-user systems. Any co-resident local account can read sensitive plaintext written by the GUI without requiring elevated privileges or exploiting any authentication mechanism. No public exploit code has been identified and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV; a vendor-confirmed patch is available at version 1.4.9.
Privilege escalation to SYSTEM in SKYSEA Client View and SKYMEC IT Manager (Sky Co., Ltd.) affects any Windows host where these IT management agents are installed. The root cause is CWE-276 - incorrect default permissions set on installation artifacts - allowing any authenticated local Windows user to plant or replace code that a SYSTEM-level service component subsequently executes. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are confirmed at time of analysis, but the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.5 and zero attack complexity barriers make this a credible priority for organizations running these products in multi-user or shared-workstation environments.
Insecure file creation in RansomLook (≤ 2.0.0) exposes the Flask session-signing secret to any local OS user with read access to the application home directory, enabling complete authentication bypass. The secret key governs Flask session cookie signing and the legacy API-key derivation function; possession of it allows an attacker to forge valid session cookies and impersonate any user, including administrators. In LDAP-configured deployments, exploitation is especially direct because the session user loader accepts arbitrary usernames without verifying their existence against any user store. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis.
Incorrect default permissions in HCL Hive 1.0 expose containerized deployments to unauthorized lateral movement, container breakout, and interception of sensitive inter-service communications by network-accessible attackers requiring no authentication. The flaw (CWE-276) means the platform ships with overly permissive defaults - not a misconfiguration by the operator - making any default deployment potentially vulnerable without additional hardening. No public exploit code exists at time of analysis, and the vulnerability has not been added to the CISA KEV catalog, but the combination of a network-accessible vector, no authentication requirement, and high confidentiality impact warrants prompt remediation.
Privilege escalation to root on the Kenwood DNR1007XR car navigation/dashcam device is possible for physically present attackers who already hold low-privileged code execution on the device. The USB filesystem mount point is configured with incorrect default permissions (CWE-276), allowing a low-privileged process to write to or manipulate that directory and escalate to root with full code execution capability. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis; the attack surface is inherently constrained by the physical access prerequisite and the embedded nature of the device.
Incorrect Default Permissions in Dell Command Update (DCU) exposes a local privilege escalation path on all versions prior to 5.7.1, allowing a low-privileged authenticated user to gain unauthorized read and write access to filesystem resources owned or managed by DCU. The flaw stems from overly permissive ACLs set during installation, consistent with CWE-276, and carries a CVSS 7.8 High rating reflecting full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, and the vulnerability is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
Incorrect default file permissions on /etc/vsftpd.conf in TrendNet TEW-813DRU firmware 1.01b01 allow a remote low-privileged attacker to manipulate FTP server configuration, resulting in low-severity integrity compromise. The affected product is end-of-life and will receive no vendor patch. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis, and the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.3 reflects the high attack complexity and minimal impact scope.
Privilege escalation in Lenovo Dock Manager allows a local authenticated user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting improper file or directory permissions (CWE-276). The flaw was identified during Lenovo's own internal security assessment, suggesting proactive vendor discovery rather than external researcher or attacker-driven disclosure. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the local-only attack vector (AV:L, PR:L) meaningfully constrains real-world exposure compared to network-exploitable vulnerabilities, though enterprise environments with shared Lenovo workstations should treat this as a genuine privilege escalation risk.
