Details

Netskope Client on Mac OS is impacted by a vulnerability in which the postinstall script does not properly validate the path of the file “nsinstallation”. A standard user could potentially create a symlink of the file “nsinstallation” to escalate the privileges of a different file on the system. This issue affects Netskope Client: before 123.0, before 117.1.11.2310, before 120.1.10.2306.

Severity

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base model, served locally by ML-Gateway. They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
