Netskope Client on Mac OS is impacted by a vulnerability in which the postinstall script does not properly validate the path of the file “nsinstallation”. A standard user could potentially create a symlink of the file “nsinstallation” to escalate the privileges of a different file on the system. This issue affects Netskope Client: before 123.0, before 117.1.11.2310, before 120.1.10.2306.
