A local vulnerability in the Winlogbeat Windows installer caused runtime files to be placed in a directory writable by unprivileged users.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.11%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
A local vulnerability in the Winlogbeat Windows installer caused runtime files to be placed in a directory writable by unprivileged users. A low-privileged attacker with existing access to the system could pre-position malicious filesystem links, causing a subsequent elevated Winlogbeat operation to write to or delete arbitrary files. Successful exploitation could result in a denial of service.
