CVE-2019-17190 1 Avast 1 Secure Browser 2023-01-31 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
A Local Privilege Escalation issue was discovered in Avast Secure Browser 76.0.1659.101. The vulnerability is due to an insecure ACL set by the AvastBrowserUpdate.exe (which is running as NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM) when AvastSecureBrowser.exe checks for new updates. When the update check is triggered, the elevated process cleans the ACL of the Update.ini file in %PROGRAMDATA%\Avast Software\Browser\Update\ and sets all privileges to group Everyone. Because any low-privileged user can create, delete, or modify the Update.ini file stored in this location, an attacker with low privileges can create a hard link named Update.ini in this folder, and make it point to a file writable by NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM. Once AvastBrowserUpdate.exe is triggered by the update check functionality, the DACL is set to a misconfigured value on the crafted Update.ini and, consequently, to the target file that was previously not writable by the low-privileged attacker.
CVE-2021-45336 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2022-07-12 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation vulnerability in the Sandbox component of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local sandboxed code to gain elevated privileges by using system IPC interfaces which could lead to exit the sandbox and acquire SYSTEM privileges.
CVE-2021-45337 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2022-07-12 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation vulnerability in the Self-Defense driver of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.8 allows a local user with SYSTEM privileges to gain elevated privileges by "hollowing" process wsc_proxy.exe which could lead to acquire antimalware (AM-PPL) protection.
CVE-2021-45338 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2022-07-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Multiple privilege escalation vulnerabilities in Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allow a local user to gain elevated privileges by calling unnecessarily powerful internal methods of the main antivirus service which could lead to the (1) arbitrary file delete, (2) write and (3) reset security.
CVE-2021-45339 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2022-07-12 7.2 HIGH 7.8 HIGH
Privilege escalation vulnerability in Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local user to gain elevated privileges by "hollowing" trusted process which could lead to the bypassing of Avast self-defense.
CVE-2022-28964 1 Avast 1 Premium Security 2022-06-02 5.4 MEDIUM 7.1 HIGH
An arbitrary file write vulnerability in Avast Premium Security before v21.11.2500 (build 21.11.6809.528) allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via a crafted DLL file.
CVE-2021-45335 1 Avast 1 Antivirus 2022-01-07 7.2 HIGH 8.8 HIGH
Sandbox component in Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 has an insecure permission which could be abused by local user to control the outcome of scans, and therefore evade detection or delete arbitrary system files.
CVE-2020-13657 1 Avast 2 Avg Antivirus, Free Antivirus 2021-07-21 2.1 LOW 5.5 MEDIUM
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in Avast Free Antivirus and AVG AntiVirus Free before 20.4 due to improperly handling hard links. The vulnerability allows local users to take control of arbitrary files.

This affects all components that use WMI, e.g., AVGSvc.exe 19.6.4546.0 and TuneupSmartScan.dll 19.1.884.0.
CVE-2020-10862 2 Avast, Microsoft 2 Antivirus, Windows 2021-07-21 4.6 MEDIUM 7.8 HIGH
