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-2017-16928 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-2017-16928/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16928/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-16928","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16928/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-16928","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5xhf-rj7x-hqqx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mac backup software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Arq updater to write arbitrary files and gain root privileges on Mac systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"arq","vendor":"haystacksoftware"}],"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":"The arq_updater binary in Arq 5.10 and earlier for Mac allows local users to write to arbitrary files and consequently gain root privileges via a crafted update URL, as demonstrated by file:///tmp/blah/Arq.zip.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-01-29","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-01-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"43925","stars":null,"title":"Arq 5.10 - Local Privilege Escalation (1)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16928","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16929"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16927"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-01-31","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-16945","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-31"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Arq updater to write arbitrary files and gain root privileges on Mac systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-16928/"}
