CVE-2024-39934

Local privilege escalation via shared Python environments

Published Jul 4, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Privilege escalation in ELABIT GmbH Robotmk before 2.0.1 allows local users to gain SYSTEM access via shared Python environments. The scheduler's rcc_setup path invokes RCC with holotree shared --enable --once, granting every host user write access to Python environments that privileged plans execute. Exploitation requires Automated environment setup; without a specific execution user, the Checkmk agent runs the scheduler as SYSTEM and modified environment code inherits that access.
