https://notcve.org/view.php?id=CVE-2024-52561
03 Jun 2025 — A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740). When a snapshot of a virtual machine is deleted, a root service verifies and modifies the ownership of the snapshot files. By using a symlink, an attacker can change the ownership of files owned by root to a lower-privilege user, potentially leading to privilege escalation. Existe una vulnerabilidad de escalada de privilegios en la función de instantáneas de Parallels Desktop ... • https://talosintelligence.com/vulnerability_reports/TALOS-2024-2123 • CWE-708: Incorrect Ownership Assignment •

03 Jun 2025 — A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the virtual machine archive restoration functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (55740). When an archived virtual machine is restored, the prl_vmarchiver tool decompresses the file and writes the content back to its original location using root privileges. An attacker can exploit this process by using a hard link to write to an arbitrary file, potentially resulting in privilege escalation.
