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-2008-1363 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Player. 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-2008-1363/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1363/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-1363","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1363/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-1363","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4wjp-9865-3fjp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by manipulating a configuration file to hijack the VMX process in VMware virtualization products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ace","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"player","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"server","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"VMware Workstation 6.0.x before 6.0.3 and 5.5.x before 5.5.6, VMware Player 2.0.x before 2.0.3 and 1.0.x before 1.0.6, VMware ACE 2.0.x before 2.0.1 and 1.0.x before 1.0.5, and VMware Server 1.0.x before 1.0.5 on Windows allow local users to gain privileges via an unspecified manipulation of a config.ini file located in an Application Data folder, which can be used for \"hijacking the VMX process.\"","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1363","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:player","products":["vmware:player","vmware:server","vmware:workstation"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1364"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1362"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-03-20","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3732","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-04-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3691","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3692","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3693","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3694","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3695","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3696","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-03"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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 escalate privileges by manipulating a configuration file to hijack the VMX process in VMware virtualization products.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-1363/"}
