CVE-2024-23483

Local command execution by low-privileged users

Published Aug 6, 2024 · Updated Aug 6, 2024

OS command injection in Zscaler Client Connector before 4.2 on macOS allows local users to execute operating-system commands. Zscaler identifies improper input validation as the cause but has not disclosed the affected component, input channel, or command-construction operation. A local user with low privileges must satisfy undisclosed high-complexity conditions, and the public record does not state the resulting command privilege.
