CWEhttps://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/272.html

Least privilege violation in the Checkmk agent plugins mk_oracle, mk_oracle.ps1, and mk_oracle_crs before Checkmk 2.3.0b4 (beta), 2.2.0p24, 2.1.0p41 and 2.0.0 (EOL) allows local users to escalate privileges.

Weakness

The elevated privilege level required to perform operations such as chroot() should be dropped immediately after the operation is performed.

Potential Mitigations

  • Compartmentalize the system to have “safe” areas where trust boundaries can be unambiguously drawn. Do not allow sensitive data to go outside of the trust boundary and always be careful when interfacing with a compartment outside of the safe area.
  • Ensure that appropriate compartmentalization is built into the system design, and the compartmentalization allows for and reinforces privilege separation functionality. Architects and designers should rely on the principle of least privilege to decide the appropriate time to use privileges and the time to drop privileges.
