This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Parallels Desktop Parallels Desktop version 14.1.3 (45485). An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target guest system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Parallels Service. The issue results from the lack of proper validation of a user-supplied string before using it to execute a system call. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute code in the context of root. Was ZDI-CAN-8685.

Parallels Plesk Panel 9.5 allows XSS in target/locales/tr-TR/help/index.htm? via the "fileName" parameter.

In the web interface of Parallels Remote Application Server (RAS) 15.5 Build 16140, a vulnerability exists due to improper validation of the file path when requesting a resource under the "RASHTML5Gateway" directory. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit this weakness to read arbitrary files from the vulnerable system using path traversal sequences.

The default configuration of Parallels Plesk Panel 9.0.x and 9.2.x on UNIX, and Small Business Panel 10.x on UNIX, has an improper ScriptAlias directive for phppath, which makes it easier for remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted request, a different vulnerability than CVE-2012-1823.

The suexec implementation in Parallels Plesk Panel 11.0.9 contains a cgi-wrapper whitelist entry, which allows user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary PHP code via a request containing crafted environment variables.

Untrusted search path vulnerability in /usr/local/psa/admin/sbin/wrapper in Parallels Plesk Panel 11.0.9 allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted PATH environment variable.

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Parallels H-Sphere 3.3 Patch 1 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of admins for requests that (1) add group plans via admin/group_plans.html or (2) add extra packages via admin/extra_packs/create_extra_pack.html.

SQL injection vulnerability in admin/plib/api-rpc/Agent.php in Parallels Plesk Panel 7.x and 8.x before 8.6 MU#2, 9.x before 9.5 MU#11, 10.0.x before MU#13, 10.1.x before MU#22, 10.2.x before MU#16, and 10.3.x before MU#5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary SQL commands via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in March 2012.

The Site Editor (aka SiteBuilder) feature in Parallels Plesk Small Business Panel 10.2.0 omits the Content-Type header's charset parameter for certain resources, which might allow remote attackers to have an unspecified impact by leveraging an interpretation conflict involving Wizard/Edit/Modules/Image and certain other files. NOTE: it is possible that only clients, not the Plesk product, could be affected by this issue.

The Control Panel in Parallels Plesk Panel 10.2.0 build 20110407.20 includes a database connection string within a web page, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information by reading this page, as demonstrated by client@2/domain@1/hosting/aspdotnet/.
