Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2026-02-12 22:16 - Updated: 2026-02-13 14:23
Severity ?
Summary
Intego Log Reporter, a macOS diagnostic utility bundled with Intego security products that collects system and application logs for support analysis, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A root-executed diagnostic script creates and writes files in /tmp without enforcing secure directory handling, introducing a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. A local unprivileged user can exploit a symlink-based race condition to cause arbitrary file writes to privileged system locations, resulting in privilege escalation to root.

Un usuario local sin privilegios puede explotar una condici\u00f3n de carrera basada en symlink para causar escrituras de archivos arbitrarias en ubicaciones privilegiadas del sistema, lo que resulta en una escalada de privilegios a root."
