OS command injection in TUBITAK BILGEM's Pardus Boot Repair allows a local low-privileged user to execute arbitrary OS commands, likely resulting in full system compromise. The vulnerability (CWE-78) affects all versions prior to 1.0.8 of this boot repair utility for the Pardus Linux distribution. Given that boot repair tools typically run with elevated (root) privileges, this flaw effectively enables local privilege escalation to full system control with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.
Local privilege escalation in Pardus-software (the software center for TUBITAK BILGEM's Pardus Linux distribution) allows a low-privileged local user to gain full system control. The flaw stems from incorrect privilege assignment (CWE-266), where the application grants elevated permissions to processes or objects that should operate with restricted rights, enabling an authenticated local user to escalate to root or equivalent. Versions before 1.0.5 are affected; no public exploit or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.
Deserialization of untrusted data in TUBITAK BILGEM's eta-otp-lock (all versions before 1.0.4) enables object injection leading to full system compromise on affected hosts. The attack requires local access and user interaction with a malicious serialized payload, resulting in high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact (CVSS 7.8). TR-CERT has confirmed the issue under advisory TR-26-0730; a vendor patch exists at version 1.0.4, and no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified at time of analysis.
Local privilege-relevant OS command injection in pardus-update (the update manager component of the Turkish national Debian-based distribution Pardus) affects versions 0.6.6 up to but not including 0.7.0, allowing an authenticated local user to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands via improperly neutralized special characters. Because update tooling typically runs with elevated privileges, successful exploitation can yield full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise of the host. Reported by Turkey's national CSIRT (TR-CERT); there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV.
Local privilege abuse in TUBITAK BILGEM Pardus-Parental-Control (versions up to and including 0.5.1, fixed in 0.7.0) lets a low-privileged local user exploit insecure file/resource permissions to tamper with the tool's DNS configuration and perform DNS spoofing. Because the CVSS scope is changed (S:C), the impact reaches beyond the application to system-wide name resolution, enabling redirection of traffic, bypass of parental filtering, and interception of connections. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the reachable local vector and low complexity make this a practical concern on shared or managed Pardus endpoints.
Sensitive information exposure in Pardus Domain Joiner (versions 0.5.2 up to but not including 0.5.4) lets a local low-privileged user harvest secrets — most plausibly domain-join credentials — that the tool passes as visible arguments when invoking a child process. TUBITAK BILGEM's utility enrolls Pardus (a Turkish Debian-based distribution) endpoints into a directory/domain, so the leaked material can be Active Directory or LDAP bind credentials. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and the flaw is not in CISA KEV, but the fix in 0.5.4 confirms the issue is vendor-acknowledged.
Local privilege escalation via argument injection in TUBITAK BILGEM's pardus-software (the Pardus Linux application/software center) affects versions up to and including 1.0.4 and is fixed in 1.0.5. A low-privileged local user can abuse a missing authorization check (CWE-862) to inject attacker-controlled arguments into a privileged backend operation, and because the CVSS scope is Changed with High confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, this realistically yields code execution or full compromise of the underlying system. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis and it is not listed in CISA KEV, but the 8.8 CVSS and scope change make it a serious local escalation issue.
Local privilege escalation via argument injection in TUBITAK BILGEM's pardus-software (the software-center application for the Turkish Pardus Linux distribution) affects all versions up to and including 1.0.4. A low-privileged local user can smuggle attacker-controlled argument delimiters into a command the application invokes with elevated privileges, yielding full compromise of the host (confidentiality, integrity, and availability all high) with no user interaction. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not on CISA KEV; it is fixed in version 1.0.5.
OS command injection in Pardus OS "My Computer" (versions up to and including 0.7.5, fixed in 0.8.0) lets an attacker execute arbitrary operating-system commands when a victim interacts with attacker-controlled input, inheriting the privileges of the file-manager process. Reported by Turkey's national CERT (TR-CERT) with a vendor patch available; there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is low (0.10%).
Path traversal (CWE-22) in TUBITAK BILGEM's Pardus Software Center before 1.0.3 lets a remote attacker craft package or repository content whose file paths escape the intended install directory, resulting in high-severity confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact with a scope change (CVSS 9.6). Exploitation requires the victim to interact (UI:R), typically by installing or opening attacker-supplied content, and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. EPSS is very low (0.03%, 10th percentile) and CISA SSVC records exploitation as 'none', indicating no observed activity despite the critical score.
Local file tampering via symlink following in Pardus About (the 'About this system' utility of the TÜBİTAK BİLGEM Pardus Linux distribution) before v1.2.1 lets an attacker abuse improper link resolution (CWE-59) so that a privileged file operation is redirected to an attacker-chosen path. Reported by TR-CERT with SSVC technical impact rated 'total' and CVSS 8.8, though there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS is very low (0.05%, 14th percentile). Note a signal conflict: the published vector is network (AV:N) yet a symlink attack in a local desktop utility strongly implies local access, which should be verified with the vendor.
Privilege escalation in TUBITAK BILGEM's Pardus Software Center before 1.0.3 allows an attacker to hijack a privileged process, enabling full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on affected Pardus Linux systems. The flaw stems from improper privilege management (CWE-269) and requires user interaction to trigger, but no prior authentication per the CVSS vector. There is no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS exploitation probability is very low (0.04%), consistent with CISA SSVC scoring exploitation as 'none'.
Authentication bypass in TUBITAK BILGEM Pardus (versions <=0.6.4 up to 0.8.0) stems from improper neutralization of CRLF sequences, letting remote attackers manipulate protocol/header handling to circumvent authentication controls when a user is lured into triggering the crafted request. Reported by TR-CERT, the flaw carries a CVSS 8.8 with total technical impact per CISA SSVC, though EPSS is very low (0.05%, 17th percentile) and there is no public exploit identified at time of analysis. A vendor patch (0.8.0) is available.
Local information disclosure in Pardus About (versions 1.2.1 through 1.2.4) allows a low-privileged local user to read sensitive system data that should be restricted to higher-privileged users. The root cause is missing authorization checks (CWE-862) in the desktop information viewer component of the Pardus Linux distribution, developed by TUBITAK BILGEM. TR-CERT disclosed the issue with a fix available in version 1.2.5; no public exploit code or CISA KEV listing has been identified.
Argument injection in Pardus Pen before version 4.2.1 allows a local, low-privileged user to inject unsanitized argument delimiters into an underlying command invocation, yielding limited integrity impact. The flaw (CWE-88) is strictly local in scope-CVSS AV:L/PR:L-and carries no confidentiality or availability consequence per the published vector. No public exploit code and no active exploitation have been identified; vendor-released patch 4.2.1 is available via the TR-CERT advisory.
Buffer overflow via improper null termination in Pardus Pen affects versions up to and including 4.1.5, with a fix available in 4.2.1. A local, low-privileged user who interacts with crafted input can trigger a CWE-170 null termination error causing out-of-bounds memory reads, resulting in limited confidentiality exposure and availability disruption. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing are associated with this CVE; the vulnerability was disclosed by TR-CERT (Turkey's national CERT) and carries a low CVSS base score of 3.9.
