CVE-2025-0413

Parallels Desktop Technical Data Reporter Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target host system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Technical Data Reporter component. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the service to change the permissions of arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-25014.

Summary
  • (es) Vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios locales en el componente Technical Data Reporter de Parallels Desktop. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a los atacantes locales escalar privilegios en las instalaciones afectadas de Parallels Desktop. Un atacante primero debe obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con pocos privilegios en el sistema host de destino para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla específica existe dentro del componente Technical Data Reporter. Al crear un enlace simbólico, un atacante puede abusar del servicio para cambiar los permisos de archivos arbitrarios. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de la raíz. Era ZDI-CAN-25014.
