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-2015-5737 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fortinet Forticlient. 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-2015-5737/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5737/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5737","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5737/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5737","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2v8h-q33q-c9qj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortinet FortiClient","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper driver access restrictions in FortiClient to obtain privileged handles and escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"forticlient","vendor":"fortinet"}],"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":"The (1) mdare64_48.sys, (2) mdare32_48.sys, (3) mdare32_52.sys, (4) mdare64_52.sys, and (5) Fortishield.sys drivers in Fortinet FortiClient before 5.2.4 do not properly restrict access to the API for management of processes and the Windows registry, which allows local users to obtain a privileged handle to a PID and possibly have unspecified other impact, as demonstrated by a 0x2220c8 ioctl call.","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-2015-5737","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fortinet:forticlient","products":["fortinet:forticlient"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5738"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5736"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2015-09-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2019-17658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-12"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Code injection in FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2023-45590","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in FortiClient SSLVPN Client for Linux","id":"CVE-2017-14184","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClient","id":"CVE-2016-8493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-26"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in FortiClientLinux","id":"CVE-2020-15934","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-19"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Path traversal in FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2019-5589","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-28"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Fortinet FortiClientWindows","id":"CVE-2021-43066","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-11"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit improper driver access restrictions in FortiClient to obtain privileged handles and escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5737/"}
