Summary

SupportAssist for Home PCs versions 4.8.2 and prior and SupportAssist for Business PCs versions 4.5.3 and prior contain a UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) following vulnerability. A low-privileged attacker with local access to the system could exploit this to delete arbitrary files only on that affected system.

Risk Assessment

A local low-privileged attacker could delete arbitrary files on the system, potentially causing data loss or system disruption. However, prior local access is required.

Recommendation

Update SupportAssist to a version later than 4.8.2 (Home) or 4.5.3 (Business). Restrict local access to systems running SupportAssist.
