IOBit Malware Fighter Pro 8.0.2.547 allows local users to gain privileges for file deletion by manipulating malicious flagged file locations with an NTFS junction and an Object Manager symbolic link.
CVE-2020-8103 1 Bitdefender 1 Antivirus 2020 2020-06-11 3.6 LOW 7.1 HIGH
A vulnerability in the improper handling of symbolic links in Bitdefender Antivirus Free can allow an unprivileged user to substitute a quarantined file, and restore it to a privileged location. This issue affects Bitdefender Antivirus Free versions prior to 1.0.17.178.
CVE-2020-3223 1 Cisco 1 Ios Xe 2020-06-09 6.8 MEDIUM 4.9 MEDIUM
A vulnerability in the web-based user interface (web UI) of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, remote attacker with administrative privileges to read arbitrary files on the underlying filesystem of the device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient file scope limiting. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a specific file reference on the filesystem and then accessing it through the web UI. An exploit could allow the attacker to read arbitrary files from the underlying operating system's filesystem.
CVE-2020-3237 1 Cisco 1 Iox 2020-06-08 4.6 MEDIUM 6.3 MEDIUM
A vulnerability in the Cisco Application Framework component of the Cisco IOx application environment could allow an authenticated, local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files in the virtual instance that is running on the affected device. The vulnerability is due to insufficient path restriction enforcement. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by including a crafted file in an application package. An exploit could allow the attacker to overwrite files.
