CVE-2024-46062: Conda MINICONDA3

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.2% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

Miniconda3 macOS installers before 23.11.0-1 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability when installed outside the user's home directory. During installation, world-writable files are created and executed with root privileges. This flaw allows a local low-privileged user to inject arbitrary commands, leading to code execution as the root user.

Affected products

• Conda MINICONDA3: before 23.11.0-1 (fixed in 23.11.0-1)
