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-2017-16834 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-2017-16834/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16834/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16834","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16834/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16834","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hpg7-623w-gqxj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PNP4Nagios monitoring","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges by modifying PNP4Nagios files owned by an unprivileged account, affecting system monitoring infrastructure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pnp4nagios","vendor":"pnp4nagios"}],"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-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"PNP4Nagios through 0.6.26 has /usr/bin/npcd and npcd.cfg owned by an unprivileged account but root code execution depends on these files, which allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to this unprivileged account.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16834","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16835"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Gemirro Stored XSS in Gemspec \"homepage\" value","id":"CVE-2017-16833"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-11-16","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-38349","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-15"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-38350","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-15"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4908","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-07-11"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3457","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-12"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges by modifying PNP4Nagios files owned by an unprivileged account, affecting system monitoring infrastructure.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16834/"}
