It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2017-0101 in the wild since at least 15 Mar 2022, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 7. 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-2017-0101/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-0101/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-0101","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-0101/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-0101","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5cr3-r8pg-5j63"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Kernel","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges on Microsoft Windows systems by exploiting a vulnerability in the Transaction Manager kernel-mode drivers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_7","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"The kernel-mode drivers in Transaction Manager in Microsoft Windows Vista SP2; Windows Server 2008 SP2 and R2; Windows 7 SP1; Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1; Windows 10 Gold, 1511, and 1607; and Windows Server 2016 allow local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka \"Windows Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-03-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-03-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44479","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Kernel (7 x86) - Local Privilege Escalation (MS17-017)"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Transaction Manager Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0101","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-15","dueDate":"2022-04-05","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Known","product":"Windows","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Windows Transaction Manager Privilege Escalation Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_7","products":["microsoft:windows_7","microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_vista"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Windows","id":"CVE-2017-0102"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows HelpPane","id":"CVE-2017-0100"},"products":["Windows"],"published":"2017-03-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft HTTP.sys Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-1635","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2015-04-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-2360","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-6324","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-11-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Object Linking \u0026 Embedding (OLE) Automation Array Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-6332","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2014-11-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-4148","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2014-10-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Group Policy Preferences Password Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2014-1812","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2014-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2013-3918","kev_date_added":"2025-10-06","published":"2013-11-12"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"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":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["Microsoft Corporation"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges on Microsoft Windows systems by exploiting a vulnerability in the Transaction Manager kernel-mode drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-0101/"}
