Local privilege escalation potentially allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code as a privileged user.
Local privilege escalation potentially allowed an attacker to write an arbitrary file with fully controlled content as a privileged user.
Use-after-free vulnerability in ESET Linux products potentially allowed an attacker to trigger kernel panic on the system
User enumeration in ESET Protect (on-prem) via Response Timing.
Local privilege escalation vulnerability via insecure temporary batch file execution in ESET Management Agent
Planting a custom configuration file
in
ESET Inspect Connector allow load a malicious DLL.
Tampering of the registry entries might have led to preventing the ESET security products from starting correctly on the next system startup or to unauthorized changes in the product's configuration.
Time-of-check to time-of-use race condition vulnerability potentially allowed an attacker to use the installed ESET security software to clear the content of an arbitrary file on the file system.
Installation file of ESET security products on Windows
allow an attacker to misuse to delete an arbitrary file without having the permissions to do so.
DLL Search Order Hijacking vulnerability potentially allowed an attacker with administrator privileges to load a malicious dynamic-link library and execute its code.
Products for macOS enables a user logged on to the system to perform a denial-of-service attack, which could be misused to disable the protection of the ESET security product and cause general system slow-down.
The vulnerability potentially allowed an attacker to misuse ESET’s file operations during the removal of a detected file on the Windows operating system to delete files without having proper permissions to do so.
Denial of service vulnerability present shortly after product installation or upgrade, potentially allowed an attacker to render ESET’s security product inoperable, provided non-default preconditions were met.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of ESET Smart Security Premium. User interaction on the part of an administrator is required to exploit this vulnerability. The ZDI has assigned a CVSS rating of 7.3. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2024-2003.

Local privilege escalation vulnerability allowed an attacker to misuse ESET's file operations during a restore operation from quarantine.
Local privilege escalation vulnerability potentially allowed an attacker to misuse ESET’s file operations to delete files without having proper permission.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of ESET Smart Security Premium. 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. The following CVEs are assigned: CVE-2024-0353.

Unquoted service path in ESET products allows to
drop a prepared program to a specific location and run on boot with the
NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService permissions.
Improper validation of the server’s certificate chain in secure traffic scanning feature considered intermediate certificate signed using the MD5 or SHA1 algorithm as trusted.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of ESET Smart Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of ESET Smart Security. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability.
The vulnerability potentially allows an attacker to misuse ESET’s file operations during the module update to delete or move files without having proper permissions.
During internal security analysis, a local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified. On a machine with the affected ESET product installed, it was possible for a user with lower privileges due to improper privilege management to trigger actions with root privileges.
ESET remedied this possible attack vector and has prepared new builds of its products that are no longer susceptible to this vulnerability.
