{"id":"CVE-2023-39520","summary":"Cryptomator vulnerable to Local Elevation of Privileges","details":"Cryptomator encrypts data being stored on cloud infrastructure. The MSI installer provided on the homepage for Cryptomator version 1.9.2 allows local privilege escalation for low privileged users, via the `repair` function. The problem occurs as the repair function of the MSI is spawning an SYSTEM Powershell without the `-NoProfile` parameter. Therefore the profile of the user starting the repair will be loaded. Version 1.9.3 contains a fix for this issue. Adding a `-NoProfile` to the powershell is a possible workaround.","aliases":["GHSA-62gx-54j7-mjh3"],"modified":"2026-08-12T03:51:16.070471793Z","published":"2023-08-07T19:35:45.782Z","database_specific":{"cwe_ids":["CWE-269"],"osv_generated_from":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/39xxx/CVE-2023-39520.json","cna_assigner":"GitHub_M"},"references":[{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/releases/download/1.9.2/Cryptomator-1.9.2-x64.msi"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/releases/tag/1.9.3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/CVEProject/cvelistV5/tree/main/cves/2023/39xxx/CVE-2023-39520.json"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/security/advisories/GHSA-62gx-54j7-mjh3"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2023-39520"},{"type":"FIX","url":"https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator/commit/727c32ad50c3901a6144a11cf984a3b7ebcf8b2b"}],"affected":[{"ranges":[{"type":"GIT","repo":"https://github.com/cryptomator/cryptomator","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"34c0f1d13e66c026282802a48c4e2addb396f228"},{"fixed":"727c32ad50c3901a6144a11cf984a3b7ebcf8b2b"}],"database_specific":{"extracted_events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1.9.3"}],"source":["CPE_RANGE","REFERENCES"],"cpe":"cpe:2.3:a:cryptomator:cryptomator:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*"}}],"versions":["1.9.2","1.9.1","1.9.0","1.8.0","1.7.5","1.7.4","1.7.3","1.7.2","1.7.1","1.7.0","1.6.17","1.6.16","1.6.15","1.6.14","1.6.13","1.6.12","1.6.11","1.6.10","1.6.9","1.6.8","1.6.7","1.6.6","1.6.5","1.6.4","1.6.3","1.6.2","1.6.1","1.6.0","1.5.19","1.5.18","1.5.17","1.5.16","1.5.15","1.5.14","1.5.13","1.5.12","1.5.11","1.5.10","1.5.9","1.5.8","1.5.7","1.5.6","1.5.5","1.5.4","1.5.3","1.5.2","1.5.1","1.5.0","1.5.0-beta3","1.5.0-beta2","1.5.0-beta1","1.5.0-alpha2","1.4.16","1.5.0-alpha1","1.4.15","1.4.14","1.4.13","1.4.12","1.4.11","1.4.10","1.4.9","1.4.8","1.4.7","1.4.6","1.4.5","1.4.4","1.4.3","1.4.2","1.4.1","1.4.0-rc1","1.4.0","1.4.0-beta3","1.4.0-beta2","1.4.0-beta1","1.3.5","1.3.4","1.3.3","1.3.2","1.3.1","1.3.0","1.3.0-rc9","1.3.0-rc8","1.3.0-rc7","1.2.4","1.3.0-rc6","1.3.0-rc5","1.3.0-rc4","1.3.0-rc3","1.3.0-rc2","1.3.0-rc1","1.2.3","1.2.2","1.2.1","1.2.0","1.1.4","1.1.3","1.1.2","1.1.1","1.1.0","1.0.1","1.0.0","0.11.0","0.10.0","0.9.0","0.8.1","0.8.0","0.7.1","0.7.0","0.6.0","0.5.1","0.5.0","0.4.0","0.3.0"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/cve-osv-conversion/osv-output/CVE-2023-39520.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}
