CVE-2023-35799

Local service interruption via privileged file creation

Published Jun 27, 2023 · Updated Dec 2, 2024

Insecure permissions in Stormshield Endpoint Security Evolution 2.0.0 through 2.3.2 allow local users to interrupt services via file creation. The SES Evolution agent creates attacker-chosen file paths with local system privileges, but it neither replaces existing files nor controls their contents. An interactive local session is required, and such file creation can deny service to arbitrary system and SES Evolution agent processes.
