[KIS-2026-16] Telenia Software TVox <= 26.5.3 (nice) Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability

Description (en)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Telenia Software TVox <= 26.5.3 (nice) Local Privilege Escalation
Vulnerability
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


[-] Software Link:

https://www.teleniasoftware.com


[-] Affected Versions:

Version 26.5.3 and prior 26.x versions.
Version 24.9.21 and prior 24.x versions.
Older versions may be affected as well.


[-] Vulnerability Description:

The vulnerability is caused by an insecure sudoers configuration in the
/etc/sudoers.d/telenia file:


apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /opt/telenia/cloud/bin/check-instance-id

apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/postsuper

apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /bin/nice
apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/hostnamectl
apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/halt
apache ALL=NOPASSWD: /sbin/reboot


The apache user is allowed to execute the "nice" command with root
privileges without requiring a password. Since "nice" can be abused to
invoke arbitrary commands, this misconfiguration enables an attacker with
access to the apache account to execute arbitrary commands as the root
user, resulting in a Local Privilege Escalation.
