### Impact A vulnerability has been discovered in cloudflared's installer (<= 2023.3.0) for Windows 32-bits devices that allows a local attacker with no administrative permissions to escalate their privileges on the affected device. This vulnerability exists because the MSI installer used by cloudflared relied on a world-writable directory. An attacker with local access to the device (without Administrator rights) can use symbolic links to trick the MSI installer into deleting files in locations that the attacker would otherwise have no access to. By creating a symlink from the world-writable directory to the target file, the attacker can manipulate the MSI installer's repair functionality to delete the target file during the repair process. Exploitation of this vulnerability could allow an attacker to delete important system files or replace them with malicious files, potentially leading to the affected device being compromised. **The cloudflared client itself is not affected by t...

McAfee Total Protection prior to 16.0.50 may allow an adversary (with full administrative access) to modify a McAfee specific Component Object Model (COM) in the Windows Registry. This can result in the loading of a malicious payload.

IBM Aspera Faspex 4.4.2 is vulnerable to an XML external entity injection (XXE) attack when processing XML data. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary commands. IBM X-Force ID: 249845.

IBM Security Guardium Key Lifecycle Manager 3.0, 3.0.1, 4.0, 4.1 , and 4.1.1 could allow a remote attacker to traverse directories on the system. An attacker could send a specially crafted URL request containing "dot dot" sequences (/../) to view arbitrary files on the system. IBM X-Force ID: 247618.

Threat actors are using legitimate network assets and open source code to fly under the radar in data-stealing attacks using a set of custom malware bent on evasion.
