What is CVE-2024-13177?

A vulnerability exists in the Netskope Client for Mac OS, where the postinstall script fails to adequately validate the path of the 'nsinstallation' file. This oversight allows a standard user to create a symbolic link to the 'nsinstallation' file, potentially granting elevated privileges to another file within the system.
