Dell Power Manager 3.3-3.14 Improper Acc. Privilege Escalation
CVE-2023-32450 Published on July 27, 2023
Dell Power Manager, Versions 3.3 to 3.14 contains an Improper Access Control vulnerability. A low-privileged malicious user may potentially exploit this vulnerability to perform arbitrary code execution with limited access.
Vulnerability Analysis
CVE-2023-32450 is exploitable with local system access, and requires small amount of user privileges. This vulnerability is considered to have a low attack complexity. The potential impact of an exploit of this vulnerability is considered to have a small impact on confidentiality, a small impact on integrity, and a high impact on availability.
Weakness Type
Creation of Temporary File in Directory with Insecure Permissions
The software creates a temporary file in a directory whose permissions allow unintended actors to determine the file's existence or otherwise access that file. On some operating systems, the fact that the temporary file exists may be apparent to any user with sufficient privileges to access that directory. Since the file is visible, the application that is using the temporary file could be known. If one has access to list the processes on the system, the attacker has gained information about what the user is doing at that time. By correlating this with the applications the user is running, an attacker could potentially discover what a user's actions are. From this, higher levels of security could be breached.
