CVE-2026-19743

HighCVSS 7.8
Published: Updated: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Improper path validation in the local IPC service of TeamViewer Full Client and Host on Windows, Linux, and macOS prior to version 15.82 allows a local authenticated user with low privileges to perform arbitrary file writes with elevated privileges (NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM \ root). By sending crafted IPC commands to the local service daemon, an attacker could manipulate file paths, leading to local privilege escalation.

Risk Assessment

A local attacker can write arbitrary files with SYSTEM/root privileges, leading to full privilege escalation and system compromise. Exploitation requires local low-privileged authentication.

Recommendation

Update TeamViewer to version 15.82 or later on all platforms. Restrict local access to systems with TeamViewer installed.
