description
Wazuh wazuh-manager versions 3.9.0 through versions earlier than 4.14.8 allow protected manager files to be overwritten through cluster file handling. An attacker who has control of a cluster worker could use this to run code with root privileges on the manager and affect managed agents.
mitigation
Upgrade wazuh-manager to version 4.14.8 or later. Until upgrades are complete, restrict cluster-worker control and access to trusted administrators and systems.
fixed in 4.14.8
outcome
Contextual: an exploit technique exists, but no deterministic check could cover this one.
