Discussion
Sygate Security Agent XML Security Policy File Local Bypass Vulnerability
Sygate Security Agent (SSA) is prone to a security vulnerability. The application fails to control which users may Export and Import security policy files.
A local attacker may export and edit an SSA XML security policy file, and may then import the changed file into the affected software. This may allow the attacker to change security settings in SSA, i.e. trusted IP address, or DNS names, or crash the software.
A local attacker may exploit this issue to bypass the SSA security restrictions.
This issue only exists when the software is running in SSA running in 'Server Control' or 'Power User' Modes.
