VAR-201509-0005
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-13 23:25Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 4.1(8) on OS X and Linux does not verify pathnames before installation actions, which allows local users to obtain root privileges via a crafted installation file, aka Bug ID CSCuv11947. Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client is prone to a local privilege-escalation vulnerability. A local attacker may exploit this issue to gain elevated system privileges on the device. This issue is being tracked by Cisco Bug ID CSCuv11947. The vulnerability is caused by the fact that the program does not verify the path name before performing the installation operation
