CVE-2026-26224 PUBLISHED

Intego Log Reporter TOCTOU Local Privilege Escalation

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 11.02.2026 Published: 12.02.2026 Updated: 13.02.2026

Intego Log Reporter, a macOS diagnostic utility bundled with Intego security products that collects system and application logs for support analysis, contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. A root-executed diagnostic script creates and writes files in /tmp without enforcing secure directory handling, introducing a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition. A local unprivileged user can exploit a symlink-based race condition to cause arbitrary file writes to privileged system locations, resulting in privilege escalation to root.
