It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-1836 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Norton Antivirus. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1836/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1836/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-1836","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1836/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-1836","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q73f-wrp7-jcr3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec LiveUpdate Mac","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by exploiting an untrusted search path in Symantec LiveUpdate for Macintosh via a Trojan horse program.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"liveupdate","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_antivirus","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_internet_security","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_personal_firewall","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_system_works","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_utilities","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in unspecified components in Symantec LiveUpdate for Macintosh 3.0.0 through 3.5.0 do not set the execution path, which allows local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse program.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1836","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"symantec:norton_antivirus","products":["symantec:norton_antivirus"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1837"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1835"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-04-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Supply chain in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-15"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0344","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-05-03"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-15"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0549","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by exploiting an untrusted search path in Symantec LiveUpdate for Macintosh via a Trojan horse program.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1836/"}
