CVE-2020-6012

HIGH

ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware <1.0.713 - Privilege Escalation

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

Description

ZoneAlarm Anti-Ransomware before version 1.0.713 copies files for the report from a directory with low privileges. A sophisticated timed attacker can replace those files with malicious or linked content, such as exploiting CVE-2020-0896 on unpatched systems or using symbolic links. This allows an unprivileged user to enable escalation of privilege via local access.
