Summary

Progress Software Fiddler Download & Setup Skill before 8.3.0 on Linux, macOS and Windows does not verify the integrity of a release component it fetches (CWE-494). An attacker who can influence that component can run code of their choice when a user runs the skill, and the attack needs user interaction and is hard to perform. On macOS, a local process can also replace the staged package before the user approves installation, which may allow root code execution.

Description from the CNA

Missing integrity verification in the Progress Software Fiddler Download and Setup Skill on Linux, macOS, and Windows which allows an attacker to compromise or influence a release component and execute attacker-controlled code when a user runs the skill. On macOS, the skill stages the package at a predictable path and installs it with administrator privileges, which may allow code execution with root privileges after user approval. A local process may also replace the staged macOS package while the skill waits for approval.
