CyberRota Analysis
AI-GeneratedThe TeamViewer Full Client and Host on Windows prior to version 15.82 are vulnerable to a TOCTOU race condition in the installer rollback mechanism, allowing local low-privileged attackers to replace backup files in a user-writable temporary directory. This can lead to privilege escalation to NT AUTHORITY/SYSTEM if the attacker successfully exploits the timing of the race condition during installation or update rollbacks. Organizations using affected versions should prioritize patching to mitigate this high-severity vulnerability.

Original NVD Description
TeamViewer Full Client and Host prior to version 15.82 on Windows contain a TOCTOU race condition in the installer rollback mechanism. A local low-privileged attacker can replace rollback backup files stored in a user-writable temporary directory before they are restored by an elevated installer, resulting in privilege escalation to NT AUHORITY/SYSTEM. Exploitation requires successful timing of the race condition and a rollback during installation or update.
