Title
Privilege Escalation via Uncontrolled Search Path in 1E-Nomad-SetWorkRate instruction
Summary
A privilege escalation vulnerability was discovered in TeamViewer DEX (former 1E DEX), specifically within the 1E-Nomad-SetWorkRate instruction prior V17.1. The improper handling of executable search paths could allow local attackers with write access to a PATH directory on a device to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code as SYSTEM.
