VAR-200502-0013
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-03 21:14Apple Remote Desktop Client 1.2.4 executes a GUI application as root when it is started by an Apple Remote Desktop Administrator application, which allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code when loginwindow is active via Fast User Switching. The issue is due to a design error that fails to activate applications with the correct privileges. This issue may allow a local attacker to gain superuser privileges on the affected computer. Vendor reports require Fast User Switching to be enabled to be affected by this vulnerability
