CVE-2026-26224

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Intego Log Reporter, a macOS diagnostic utility bundled with Intego security products, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A root-executed diagnostic script creates and writes files in /tmp without enforcing secure directory handling, introducing a TOCTOU race condition. A local unprivileged user can exploit a symlink-based race condition to cause arbitrary file writes to privileged system locations, resulting in privilege escalation to root.

Risk Assessment

The risk includes privilege escalation to root, potentially allowing an attacker full control over the system and access to sensitive data. This may lead to system integrity compromise.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update Intego Log Reporter to a patched version. Also, ensure secure temporary file creation, e.g., using secure functions and directories with proper permissions.

Original NVD description (English source)

Intego Log Reporter, a macOS diagnostic utility bundled with Intego security products that collects system and application logs for support analysis, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A root-executed diagnostic script creates and writes files in /tmp without enforcing secure directory handling, introducing a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. A local unprivileged user can exploit a symlink-based race condition to cause arbitrary file writes to privileged system locations, resulting in privilege escalation to root.
