An Amazon Web Services (AWS) developer who does not specify the --owners flag when describing images via AWS CLI, and therefore not properly validating source software per AWS recommended security best practices, may unintentionally load an undesired and potentially malicious Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the uncurated public community AMI catalog.
The vagrant update process in Hashicorp vagrant-vmware-fusion 5.0.2 through 5.0.4 allows local users to steal root privileges via a crafted update request when no updates are available.
It is possible to exploit an unsanitized PATH in the suid binary that ships with vagrant-vmware-fusion 4.0.25 through 5.0.4 in order to escalate to root privileges.
aws/resource_aws_iam_user_login_profile.go in the HashiCorp Terraform Amazon Web Services (AWS) provider through v1.12.0 has an inappropriate PRNG algorithm and seeding, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access by leveraging an IAM account that was provisioned with a weak password.
If HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) 5.0.3 is installed but VMware Fusion is not, a local attacker can create a fake application directory and exploit the suid sudo helper in order to escalate to root.
In HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) 5.0.1, a local attacker or malware can silently subvert the plugin update process in order to escalate to root privileges.
In HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) 5.0.0, a local attacker or malware can silently subvert the plugin update process in order to escalate to root privileges.
An insecure suid wrapper binary in the HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) 4.0.24 and earlier allows a non-root user to obtain a root shell.
HashiCorp Vagrant VMware Fusion plugin (aka vagrant-vmware-fusion) before 4.0.24 uses weak permissions for the sudo helper scripts, allows local users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges by overwriting one of the scripts.
