CVE-2022-41950

Privilege escalation via incorrect chmod parameter

Published Nov 22, 2022 · Updated Apr 22, 2025

Privilege escalation in Super Xray before 0.3-beta allows local users to gain elevated permissions via incorrect file-mode handling. The launcher passes an incorrect chmod parameter when setting default Xray permissions, leaving executable resources with excessive privileges. Exploitation requires local access and high privileges with no user interaction; successful exploitation can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
