Technical details
The NoMachine Device Service creates a named pipe with overly permissive access controls (CWE-276), allowing a local attacker to interact with it without appropriate privilege restrictions. An attacker with local code execution capability can exploit this misconfiguration to escalate from low-privileged code to SYSTEM context. The attack requires local access and existing code execution capability but does not require user interaction or authentication bypass.
Affected products
- NoMachine NoMachine versions prior to v8, v9, and v10
