CVE-2024-7062 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.8/10 on the CVSS scale. Nimble Commander suffers from a privilege escalation vulnerability due to the server (info.filesmanager.Files.PrivilegedIOHelperV2) performing improper/insufficient validation of a client’s authorization before executing an operation. Consequently, it is possible to execute system-level commands as the root user, such as changing permissions and ownership, obtaining a handle (file descriptor) of an arbitrary file, and terminating processes, among other operations.. EPSS estimates a 0.25% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
