Format string vulnerability in avpkeeper in Kaspersky KAV 3.5.135.2 for Sendmail allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed mail message.
Unspecified vulnerability in Kaspersky Online Scanner 7.0 has unknown impact and attack vectors, as demonstrated by a certain module in VulnDisco Pack Professional 8.8, (1) "Kaspersky Online Antivirus Scanner 7.0 exploit (Linux)" and (2) "Kaspersky Online Antivirus Scanner 7.0 exploit (Windows)." NOTE: as of 20090909, this disclosure has no actionable information. However, because the VulnDisco Pack author is a reliable researcher, the issue is being assigned a CVE identifier for tracking purposes.
The kluser is able to interact with the kav4fs-control binary in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312). By abusing the quarantine read and write operations, it is possible to elevate the privileges to root.
TinyCheck before commits 9fd360d and ea53de8 was vulnerable to command injection due to insufficient checks of input parameters in several places.
In TinyCheck before commits 9fd360d and ea53de8, the installation script of the tool contained hard-coded credentials to the backend part of the tool. This information could be used by an attacker for unauthorized access to remote data.
In Kaspersky Internet Security for Android 11.12.4.1622, some of application exports activities have weak permissions, which might be used by a malware application to get unauthorized access to the product functionality by using Android IPC.
Configuration file injection leading to Code Execution as Root in Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway version 1.1.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus products for home and Kaspersky Endpoint Security with antivirus databases released before 12 March 2022 had a bug in a data parsing module that potentially allowed an attacker to execute arbitrary code. The fix was delivered automatically. Credits: Georgy Zaytsev (Positive Technologies).
Kaspersky Lab Antivirus Engine version before 04.apr.2019 has a heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability that potentially allow arbitrary code execution
Kaspersky has fixed a security issue in the Kaspersky Security 8.0 for Linux Mail Server. The issue was that an attacker could potentially force an administrator to click on a malicious link to perform unauthorized actions.
There are no Anti-CSRF tokens in any forms on the web interface in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312). This would allow an attacker to submit authenticated requests when an authenticated user browses an attacker-controlled domain.
Cross-site Request Forgery leading to Administrative account takeover in Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway version 1.1.
The installer of Kaspersky Anti-Ransomware Tool (KART) prior to KART 4.0 Patch C was vulnerable to a DLL hijacking attack that allowed an attacker to elevate privileges during installation process.
Installers of Kaspersky Security Center and Kaspersky Security Center Web Console prior to 12 & prior to 12 Patch A were vulnerable to a DLL hijacking attack that allowed an attacker to elevate privileges in the system.
Unauthorized code execution from specific DLL and is known as DLL Hijacking attack in Kaspersky Password Manager versions before 8.0.6.538.
This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Kaspersky Password Manager. 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 Kaspersky Password Manager Service. The issue results from execution with unnecessary privileges. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges from medium integrity and execute code in the context of the current user at high integrity.

A component in Kaspersky Password Manager could allow an attacker to elevate a process Integrity level from Medium to High.
Possible system denial of service in case of arbitrary changing Firefox browser parameters. An attacker could change specific Firefox browser parameters file in a certain way and then reboot the system to make the system unbootable.
Local Privilege Escalation in Kaspersky Secure Mail Gateway version 1.1.
Kernel pool memory corruption in one of drivers in Kaspersky Embedded Systems Security version 1.2.0.300 leads to local privilege escalation.
Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection for Windows version up to 21.5 was vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion via abuse of its 'Delete All Service Data And Reports' feature by the local authenticated attacker.
The reportId parameter of the getReportStatus action method can be abused in the web interface in Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux File Server before Maintenance Pack 2 Critical Fix 4 (version 8.0.4.312) to read arbitrary files with kluser privileges.
In Kaspersky Internet Security for Android 11.12.4.1622, some of the application trace files were not encrypted.
Password generator feature in Kaspersky Password Manager was not completely cryptographically strong and potentially allowed an attacker to predict generated passwords in some cases. An attacker would need to know some additional information (for example, time of password generation).
The installer of Kaspersky VPN Secure Connection prior to 5.0 was vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion that could allow an attacker to delete any file in the system.
Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool (KVRT) prior to 15.0.23.0 was vulnerable to arbitrary file corruption that could provide an attacker with the opportunity to eliminate content of any file in the system.
A component of Kaspersky custom boot loader allowed loading of untrusted UEFI modules due to insufficient check of their authenticity. This component is incorporated in Kaspersky Rescue Disk (KRD) and was trusted by the Authentication Agent of Full Disk Encryption in Kaspersky Endpoint Security (KES). This issue allowed to bypass the UEFI Secure Boot security feature. An attacker would need physical access to the computer to exploit it. Otherwise, local administrator privileges would be required to modify the boot loader component.
Kaspersky Secure Connection, Kaspersky Internet Security, Kaspersky Total Security, Kaspersky Security Cloud prior to version 2020 patch E have bug that allows a local user to execute arbitrary code via execution compromised file placed by an attacker with administrator rights. No privilege escalation. Possible whitelisting bypass some of the security products
TinyCheck before commits 9fd360d and ea53de8 allowed an authenticated attacker to send an HTTP GET request to the crafted URLs.
