CVE-2024-9950

Compliance-script modification via insecure temporary directory

Published Jan 2, 2025 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

Insecure temporary-directory permissions in Forescout SecureConnector 11.3.07.0109 through 11.3.11 allow local users to alter compliance scripts. Affected builds place compliance scripts beneath the Windows temporary directory without preventing unauthorized modification. The Windows-only path lets local users inject content before the agent runs a script, compromising compliance results and downstream actions.
