A vulnerability has been identified in OpenBase SQL, which could be exploited by local attackers to obtain elevated privileges. This flaw is due to errors in various binaries that invoke "/Library/OpenBase/bin/gnutar" in an insecure manner, which could be exploited by local attackers to run "gzip" without an absolute path and then execute arbitrary commands with "root" privileges by manipulating the "PATH" environment variable.
