CVE-2025-0797 Details
Description
A vulnerability was found in MicroWorld eScan Antivirus 7.0.32 on Linux. It has been declared as problematic. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /var/Microworld/ of the component Quarantine Handler. The manipulation leads to incorrect default permissions. The attack needs to be approached locally. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
A vulnerability exists in MicroWorld eScan Antivirus for Linux, specifically in version 7.0.32. The issue arises within the Quarantine Handler component, where the default permissions of the quarantine folders are set to 777. This misconfiguration allows any unprivileged user to modify the contents of these folders. As a result, malicious files can be introduced into the quarantine, evading detection by the antivirus's real-time protection service, which excludes the quarantine folders from monitoring.
