CVE-2026-41477 Details
Description
Deskflow is a keyboard and mouse sharing app. In 1.20.0, 1.26.0.134, and earlier, Deskflow daemon runs as SYSTEM and exposes an IPC named pipe with WorldAccessOption enabled. The daemon processes privileged commands without authentication, allowing any local unprivileged user to execute arbitrary commands as SYSTEM. Affects both stable v1.20.0 + and Continuous v1.26.0.134 prerelease.
A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been identified in Deskflow versions through 1.20.0 and in the Continuous v1.26.0.134 prerelease. The Deskflow daemon runs as the SYSTEM user and exposes an inter-process communication (IPC) named pipe with WorldAccessOption enabled. This configuration allows any local unprivileged user to connect to the pipe and execute arbitrary commands as the SYSTEM user, without authentication or authorization. The vulnerability arises because the daemon processes privileged commands from the named pipe, leveraging the SYSTEM token to execute commands with elevated privileges.
