Description (CNA)
TensorFlow HDF5 Library Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of TensorFlow. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the handling of plugins. The application loads plugins from an unsecured location. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of a target user. Was ZDI-CAN-25480.

A flaw was found in TensorFlow. This vulnerability allows a local attacker to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code. The flaw exists within the HDF5 library's handling of plugins, which are loaded from an unsecured location. An attacker with low-privileged code execution can exploit this uncontrolled search path to achieve privilege escalation.
