What is CVE-2023-29586?
CVE-2023-29586 is a medium-severity missing authorization vulnerability in n/a, published on 19 Apr 2023. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.
Official description
Code Sector TeraCopy 3.9.7 does not perform proper access validation on the source folder during a copy operation. This leads to Arbitrary File Read by allowing any user to copy any directory in the system to a directory they control. NOTE: the Supplier disputes this because only admin users can copy arbitrary folders, and because the 143984 reference is about a different concern (unrelated to directory copying) that was fixed in 3.5b.
