Local privilege escalation via weak temporary-folder permissions
Published Dec 17, 2025 · Updated Dec 17, 2025
Incorrect default permissions in Portrait Dell Color Management Software 3.3.008 and earlier allow local users to elevate privileges. During uninstallation, the application creates a temporary folder whose permissions are too broad, but Portrait has not disclosed the affected path or exploitable file operation. Exploitation requires low-privileged local access and can raise the attacker's privileges, with no user interaction reported.
