Homebrew vulnerability analysis and mitigation
Overview
An issue was discovered in SteelSeries GG 36.0.0 that allows attackers to modify values in an unencrypted database that is writable for all users on the computer (NVD). The vulnerability was disclosed in July 2023 and affects SteelSeries GG software installations.
Technical details
The vulnerability has been assigned a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (HIGH) with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H. The issue stems from incorrect default permissions that allow attackers to modify an unencrypted database accessible to all users, potentially leading to code execution with elevated privileges (NVD, Akamai Blog).
Impact
If exploited, this vulnerability could allow an attacker to execute code with higher privileges on the affected system. The high CVSS score reflects the potential for complete compromise of system confidentiality, integrity, and availability (NVD).
Mitigation and workarounds
SteelSeries acted to patch these vulnerabilities in May 2023. Users should ensure they are running the latest version of SteelSeries GG software (Akamai Blog).
