In BlackBerry QNX Software Development Platform (SDP) 6.6.0, an elevation of privilege vulnerability in the default configuration of the QNX SDP with QNet enabled on networks comprising two or more QNet nodes could allow an attacker to access local and remote files or take ownership of files on other QNX nodes regardless of permissions by executing commands targeting arbitrary nodes from a secondary QNX 6.6.0 QNet node.

Attackers might be able to spoof the intended endpoint from a different system or process, thus gaining the same level of access as the intended endpoint. While this issue frequently involves authentication between network-based clients and servers, other types of communication channels and endpoints can have this weakness.
