CVE-2012-10022
Severity CVSS v4.0:
HIGH
Type:
CWE-269
Improper Privilege Management
Publication date:
01/08/2025
Last modified:

Description
Kloxo versions 6.1.12 and earlier contain two setuid root binaries—lxsuexec and lxrestart—that allow local privilege escalation from uid 48. The lxsuexec binary performs a uid check and permits execution of arbitrary commands as root if the invoking user matches uid 48. This flaw enables attackers with Apache-level access to escalate privileges to root without authentication.
Impact
Base Score 4.0
8.50
Severity 4.0
HIGH
