This can be exploited through a maliciously crafted email where the user is persuaded to open the message with the click of a link. If the link is clicked, the malicious code on the victim’s computer can exploit the permissions issue. A similar issue exists in Oracle VirtualBox. A guest operating system running on a virtual machine can exploit the missing permission check to access the virtual hard disk. Due to the virtual nature of the hard disk, this can be done without any additional privileges. Additionally, there is another unpatched vulnerability in Oracle VirtualBox that can be exploited as a privilege escalation. This can be done by running a malicious virtual machine and exploiting the unpatched vulnerability in Oracle VirtualBox.
Oracle VirtualBox
Unpatched Vulnerability
An unpatched vulnerability in Oracle VirtualBox allows for privilege escalation. This can be done by running a malicious virtual machine and exploiting the unpatched vulnerability in Oracle VirtualBox. A malicious guest operating system on a virtual machine can exploit this issue to execute code with elevated privileges.
Comodo Multi-factor Authentication bypass
Comodo Multi-factor Authentication (MFA) is a software application that provides additional protection against online identity theft. The product enables users to log in to websites or services using an email address, a telephone number, or biometrics. In this case, the attacker would have one of these three factors and would bypass the MFA security measure by taking advantage of an issue with the authorization process when setting up a new account. This can be exploited through social engineering by convincing the user to create a new account through phishing emails where they are told that their account credentials need updating. The attacker has presented them with a phishing link that prompts them to enter their personal data into a form that will allow them to set up their new account without having to use MFA.
