mk-oracle: Local privilege escalation via malicious Oracle Instant Client
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 20/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.08% (FIRST EPSS).
- Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
- Fixed version: Checkmk GmbH Checkmk 2.5.0p10.
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Checkmk GmbH Checkmk 2.5.0p10 or later.
Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it
Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS
Local privilege escalation in Checkmk 2.5.0 before 2.5.0p10 allows a user with access to edit the Oracle Instant Client referenced by the agent plugin 'mk-oracle' to escalate their privileges if an agent has this plugin enabled.
