A security vulnerability has been identified in Planet9 due to incorrect file permissions assigned to an application executable used by the Planet9 background service. The service runs with SYSTEM privileges, while the affected executable grants excessive permissions to non-administrative users. As a result, an authenticated local user could potentially modify or replace the executable and execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges when the service starts or the system is restarted.
Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource The product specifies permissions for a security-critical resource in a way that allows that resource to be read or modified by unintended actors.
