CVE-2023-27470

CVSS v3.1

7.0

High

VectorAV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions N-able Take Control Agent versions 7.0.41.1141 through 7.0.42
Description The issue is related to a Time-of-Check to Time-of-Use (TOCTOU) race condition in the BASupSrvcUpdater.exe service, which can be exploited via a pseudo-symlink at %PROGRAMDATA%GetSupportService N-CentralPushUpdates. This can lead to arbitrary file deletion. The vulnerability may allow an attacker to gain access to read, modify, or delete files.
Recommendations For versions 7.0.41.1141 through 7.0.42, update to version 7.0.43 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the %PROGRAMDATA%GetSupportService N-CentralPushUpdates directory to minimize the risk of exploitation.
