TeamViewer < 15.52 Insecure Symlink Following (tv-2024-1002)

high Nessus Plugin ID 204787

Language:

Synopsis

The remote MacOS host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of TeamViewer Client installed on the remote MacOS host is prior to 15.52. It is, therefore, affected by an insecure symlink following vulnerability. A local attacker with unprivileged access could potentially elevate privileges or conduct a denial-of-service attack by overwriting the symlink.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade TeamViewer Client to version 15.52 or later.
