Cato Networks’ Socket versions prior to 25 contain a command injection vulnerability that allows an authenticated attacker with access to the Socket web interface (UI) to execute arbitrary operating system commands as the root user on the Socket’s internal system.

Improper certificate validation and a time-of-check time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition in the PrivilegedHelperTool XPC service in Cato Client before v.5.13.1 on macOS allows a local authenticated attacker to escalate privileges to root via a self-signed certificate that bypasses the XPC caller verification and a symlink swap during package installation.

An issue in Cato Networks' CatoClient for Linux, before version 5.5, allows a local attacker to escalate privileges to root by exploiting improper symbolic link handling.

This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Cato Networks Cato Client for macOS. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 7.8.
