CVE-2024-5102 2 Avast, Microsoft 2 Antivirus, Windows 2024-06-12 N/A 7.0 HIGH
A sym-linked file accessed via the repair function in Avast Antivirus <24.2 on Windows may allow user to elevate privilege to delete arbitrary files or run processes as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. The vulnerability exists within the "Repair" (settings -> troubleshooting -> repair) feature, which attempts to delete a file in the current user's AppData directory as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. A low-privileged user can make a pseudo-symlink and a junction folder and point to a file on the system. This can provide a low-privileged user an Elevation of Privilege to win a race-condition which will re-create the system files and make Windows callback to a specially-crafted file which could be used to launch a privileged shell instance. This issue affects Avast Antivirus prior to 24.2.

CVE-2022-28964 1 Avast 1 Premium Security 2024-02-04 5.4 MEDIUM 7.1 HIGH
An arbitrary file write vulnerability in Avast Premium Security before v21.11.2500 (build 21.11.6809.528) allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted DLL file.
CVE-2021-45339 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2024-02-04 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation vulnerability in Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges by "hollowing" trusted process which could lead to the bypassing of Avast self-defense.
CVE-2021-45336 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2024-02-04 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation vulnerability in the Sandbox component of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local sandboxed code to gain elevated privileges by using system IPC interfaces which could lead to exit the sandbox and acquire SYSTEM privileges.
CVE-2021-45338 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2024-02-04 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allow a local user to gain elevated privileges by calling unnecessarily powerful internal methods of the main antivirus service which could lead to the (1) arbitrary file delete, (2) write and (3) reset security.
CVE-2021-45337 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2024-02-04 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation vulnerability in the Self-Defense driver of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.8 allows a local user with SYSTEM privileges to gain elevated privileges by "hollowing" process wsc_proxy.exe which could lead to acquire antimalware (AM-PPL) protection.
CVE-2021-45335 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2024-02-04 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Sandbox component in Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 has an insecure permission which could be abused by local user to control the outcome of scans, and therefore evade detection or delete arbitrary system files.
CVE-2021-27241 1 Avast 1 Premium Security 2024-02-04 3.6 LOW 6.1 MEDIUM
This vulnerability allows local attackers to delete arbitrary directories on affected installations of Avast Premium Security 20.8.2429 (Build 20.8.5653.561). An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the AvastSvc.exe module. By creating a directory junction, an attacker can abuse the service to delete a directory. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to create a denial-of-service condition on the system. Was ZDI-CAN-12082.
