CVE-2023-29820

Local information disclosure through EXE installer

Published May 12, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026

Information disclosure in Webroot SecureAnywhere Endpoint Protection CE 23.1 9.0.33.39 and earlier allows local users to read sensitive data. The CVE record identifies the EXE installer as the exposure locus but does not disclose which data it exposes or which access-control operation is incorrect. Low-privileged local access is required, and Webroot states that the issue is not distinct from the allowlist-related flaws recorded separately.
