Check Point SmartConsole before R80.10 Build 185, R80.20 Build 119, R80.30 before Build 94, R80.40 before Build 415, and R81 before Build 548 were vulnerable to a possible local privilege escalation due to running executables from a directory with write access to all authenticated users.
Executing commands or loading libraries from an untrusted source or in an untrusted environment can cause an application to execute malicious commands (and payloads) on behalf of an attacker.
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
