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-2015-6971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2015-6971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-6971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6971/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-6971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vmc6-mwr4-rfxp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lenovo System Update","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by submitting commands to the Lenovo System Update service via signed executables.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"system_update","vendor":"lenovo"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"Lenovo System Update (formerly ThinkVantage System Update) before 5.07.0013 allows local users to submit commands to the System Update service (SUService.exe) and gain privileges by launching signed Lenovo executables.","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-2015-6971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6972"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6970"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-2233","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Lenovo System Update","id":"CVE-2023-4632","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7333","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7334","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Lenovo System Update","id":"CVE-2018-9063","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-04"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-7336","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-27"}],"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 gain privileges by submitting commands to the Lenovo System Update service via signed executables.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-6971/"}
