The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing a security update. They are, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  • A permission assignment vulnerability exists in Visual Studio after installing the Game development with C++ and selecting the Unreal Engine Installer workload. The system is vulnerable to LPE during the installation it creates a directory with write access to all users. (CVE-2021-26434)

  • A code execution vulnerability exists in Visual Studio due to incorrect memory handling. An unauthenticated, local attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute arbitrary commands. (CVE-2021-36952)

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