Issues Addressed
The following important and notable issues are fixed in this release:
| Component/Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Untrusted Search Path Vulnerability | The shell scripts packaged with the Cloud Agent installer execute multiple system utilities without an absolute path or resetting a path to a safe value. This allows a malicious actor to place harmful files on your assets when the shell scripts are executed with elevated privileges. We have updated this behavior by setting up the fixed paths for shell script execution. This enhancement prevents the infiltration of malicious files on your assets and prevents you from any potential security threats. The updated shell script behavior also helps in mitigating the Untrusted Search Path Vulnerability (CWE-426). |
