CVE-2024-45752
CVE-2024-45752 is a privilege escalation vulnerability in logiops versions up to 0.3.4. This flaw enables any unprivileged user to manipulate the logid daemon via an unrestricted D-Bus service. This manipulation includes the ability to configure malicious keyboard macros.
Although the CVSS score is 7.3, the SOCRadar Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 66 indicates a moderate risk, suggesting that while not immediately critical, the vulnerability requires prompt attention. The ability to set malicious keyboard macros can lead to significant security breaches with minimal user interaction, ultimately resulting in privilege escalation. This vulnerability is significant because it bypasses typical security measures, allowing attackers to gain higher-level access to the system by exploiting a misconfiguration in the D-Bus service. Organizations using logiops should apply the necessary patches or mitigations to prevent unauthorized access and potential system compromise.
