This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of NoMachine. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.\n\nThe specific flaw exists within the NoMachine Device Service. The issue results from incorrect permissions on a named pipe. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-31213.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `NoMachine 9.7.3`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"abyssal","depthScore":68,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":42.9,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":25,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
