{"cve":"CVE-2019-11769","nvd":{"published":"2019-09-11T20:15:10.303","modified":"2026-06-17T02:13:36.357","status":"Modified","description":"An issue was discovered in TeamViewer 14.2.2558. Updating the product as a non-administrative user requires entering administrative credentials into the GUI. Subsequently, these credentials are processed in Teamviewer.exe, which allows any application running in the same non-administrative user context to intercept them in cleartext within process memory. By using this technique, a local attacker is able to obtain administrative credentials in order to elevate privileges. This vulnerability can be exploited by injecting code into Teamviewer.exe which intercepts calls to GetWindowTextW and logs the processed credentials.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-522"],"references":["https://blog.to.com/advisory-teamviewer-cve-2019-11769-2/","https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/Knowledgebase?type=label&labels=Security","https://blog.to.com/advisory-teamviewer-cve-2019-11769-2/","https://community.teamviewer.com/t5/Knowledge-Base/tkb-p/Knowledgebase?type=label&labels=Security"],"products":["teamviewer:teamviewer"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T20:58:39.700375520+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2019-11769","score":0.00439,"percentile":0.3818,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
