Malicious application injection via unsigned updates
Published Sep 6, 2023 · Updated Sep 26, 2024
Insufficient update authenticity verification in Delinea Secret Server 10.9.000002 allows administrators to inject malicious applications. The software-update process neither requires digital signatures nor validates package integrity before accepting an update package. The flaw requires an administrator account and access to the update workflow; a malicious package can introduce attacker-controlled applications.
