Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Intego Log Reporter (affected versions not specified)

Description Intego Log Reporter, a macOS diagnostic utility, has a local privilege escalation issue. A diagnostic script executed as root creates and writes files in /tmp without secure directory handling, leading to a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. A local user can exploit a symlink-based race condition to achieve arbitrary file writes to privileged system locations, resulting in root-level access.

Recommendations At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
