CVE-2024-25958

Privilege escalation via weak application-folder permissions

Published Mar 26, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Weak application-folder permissions in Dell Grab for Windows 5.0.4 and earlier allow local users to escalate privileges. The application folder receives overly broad access, but Dell has not disclosed the affected path, ACL entries, or privileged process behavior. Exploitation requires local authenticated access, high-complexity conditions, and user interaction; success permits application-data access or modification, privilege escalation, and service interruption.
