CVE-2025-9870

Razer Synapse 3 RazerPhilipsHueUninstall Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability. This vulnerability allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of Razer Synapse 3. An attacker must first obtain the ability to execute low-privileged code on the target system in order to exploit this vulnerability. The specific flaw exists within the Philips HUE module installer. By creating a symbolic link, an attacker can abuse the installer to delete arbitrary files. An attacker can leverage this vulnerability to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code in the context of SYSTEM. Was ZDI-CAN-26375.

Summary		(es) Razer Synapse 3 RazerPhilipsHueUninstall Link tras una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios local. Esta vulnerabilidad permite a atacantes locales escalar privilegios en instalaciones afectadas de Razer Synapse 3. Un atacante debe primero obtener la capacidad de ejecutar código con privilegios bajos en el sistema objetivo para explotar esta vulnerabilidad. La falla específica existe dentro del instalador del módulo Philips HUE. Al crear un enlace simbólico, un atacante puede abusar del instalador para eliminar archivos arbitrarios. Un atacante puede aprovechar esta vulnerabilidad para escalar privilegios y ejecutar código arbitrario en el contexto de SYSTEM. Fue ZDI-CAN-26375.
