Local spoofing via relative path traversal
Published Oct 8, 2024 · Updated Aug 19, 2026
Relative path traversal in Microsoft Defender for Endpoint for Linux before 101.24052.0002 allows local users to spoof content. Microsoft has not disclosed the affected component or the path-handling operation that accepts attacker-controlled relative paths. A low-privilege local account is required, and the published impact is limited to unauthorized disclosure rather than data modification or service interruption.
