Summary
The WatchGuard Agent software is affected by this flaw in how its log directory is secured. A local user with ordinary, non-administrator access could alter or delete the agent's security logs, or place files in that directory, which could hide malicious activity and help set up further attacks on the system.

Read the original description
An incorrect permission assignment vulnerability in the WatchGuard Agent's log directory allows a local, authenticated non-administrative user to create, modify, append to, or delete the agent's log files and write other files into the directory. This allows an attacker to tamper with or destroy the agent's security logs and stage further local attacks by placing executable content in a directory owned by a privileged service.
