An arbitrary file deletion in ZSATrayManager where it protects the temporary encrypted ZApp issue reporting file from the unprivileged end user access and modification. Fixed version: Win ZApp 4.3.0 and later.
Weakness
The product, when opening a file or directory, does not sufficiently account for when the file is a symbolic link that resolves to a target outside of the intended control sphere. This could allow an attacker to cause the product to operate on unauthorized files.
Affected Software
| Name | Vendor | Start Version | End Version |
|---|---|---|---|
| Client_connector | Zscaler | * | 4.3 (excluding) |
Potential Mitigations
- Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
- Denying access to a file can prevent an attacker from replacing that file with a link to a sensitive file. Ensure good compartmentalization in the system to provide protected areas that can be trusted.
