CVE-2023-39520
CVSS 3.1 Score 7.8 of 10 (high)
Details
Summary
CVE-2023-39520 is a privilege escalation vulnerability affecting the MSI installer for Cryptomator version 1.9.2. This issue permits local privilege escalation for users with low privileges, due to the `repair` function spawning an SYSTEM Powershell without the `-NoProfile` parameter. Consequently, the profile of the user initiating the repair is loaded, posing a security risk. Version 1.9.3 of Cryptomator features a patch to rectify this vulnerability. As a temporary solution, adding the `-NoProfile` parameter to the Powershell command launched during the repair process can help mitigate the issue.
