CVE-2020-8092

Local cloud authentication-token disclosure via BDLDaemon

Published Jan 29, 2020 · Updated Sep 17, 2024

Privilege escalation in BDLDaemon in Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac before 8.0.0 allows local users to obtain Bitdefender Cloud tokens. Bitdefender identifies BDLDaemon as the affected component but has not published the operation that exposes authentication tokens for cloud-bound requests. Access is local, and the bounded consequence is disclosure of those tokens rather than code execution, data modification, or service interruption.
