CVE-2024-9858: Google Migrate To Containers

High severity, CVSS 7.8. EPSS: 0.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

There exists an insecure default user permission in Google Cloud Migrate to containers from version 1.1.0 to 1.2.2 Windows installs. A local "m2cuser" was greated with administrator privileges. This posed a security risk if the "analyze" or "generate" commands were interrupted or skipping the action to delete the local user “m2cuser”. We recommend upgrading to 1.2.3 or beyond

Affected products

• Google Migrate To Containers: from 1.1.0, before 1.2.3 (fixed in 1.2.3)
