Local privilege escalation via insecure folder permissions
Published Apr 29, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024
Privilege escalation in Acronis Cyber Protect Cloud Agent for Windows before build 37758 allows local users to gain elevated privileges. Acronis identifies insecure folder permissions as the cause but has not disclosed the folder or the privileged operation that consumes its contents. Exploitation requires a low-privileged local user and user interaction; successful exploitation grants elevated privileges, compromising protected data and partially interrupting the agent.
