It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-7224 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. 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-2016-7224/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7224/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-7224","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7224/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-7224","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7m2h-7xmj-fm47"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows VHD Driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper file access restrictions in the Windows Virtual Hard Disk Driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Virtual Hard Disk Driver in Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607, and Windows Server 2016 does not properly restrict access to files, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka \"VHD Driver Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-11-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-11-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40765","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows - VHDMP Arbitrary Physical Disk Cloning Privilege Escalation (MS16-138)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7224","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10","products":["microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_8.1","microsoft:windows_rt_8.1","microsoft:windows_server_2012","microsoft:windows_server_2016"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7225"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-7223"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Adobe Type Manager Library Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2426","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-20"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Mount Manager Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-1769","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Windows Hard Link Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-28476","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Windows","id":"CVE-2019-1384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-12"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper file access restrictions in the Windows Virtual Hard Disk Driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-7224/"}
