- Summary
- Wazuh has Privilege Escalation to Root via Cluster Protocol File Write
- Details
-
Wazuh is a free and open source platform used for threat prevention, detection, and response. Starting in version 3.9.0 and prior to version 4.14.3, a privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Wazuh Manager's cluster synchronization protocol. The
wazuh-clusterdservice allows authenticated nodes to write arbitrary files to the manager’s file system with the permissions of thewazuhsystem user. Due to insecure default permissions, thewazuhuser has write access to the manager's main configuration file (/var/ossec/etc/ossec.conf). By leveraging the cluster protocol to overwriteossec.conf, an attacker can inject a malicious<localfile>command block. Thewazuh-logcollectorservice, which runs as root, parses this configuration and executes the injected command. This chain allows an attacker with cluster credentials to gain full Root Remote Code Execution, violating the principle of least privilege and bypassing the intended security model. Version 4.14.3 fixes the issue. - Database specific
