An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6554 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-2017-6554/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6554/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6554","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6554/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6554","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4gg5-cvf8-h5rh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Privilege Manager","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can write arbitrary files and execute code with root privileges in Quest Privilege Manager when configured as a policy server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"privilege_manager","vendor":"quest"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"pmmasterd in Quest Privilege Manager before 6.0.0.061, when configured as a policy server, allows remote attackers to write to arbitrary files and consequently execute arbitrary code with root privileges via an ACT_NEWFILESENT action.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-04-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-04-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"41861","stars":null,"title":"Quest Privilege Manager 6.0.0 - Arbitrary File Write"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6554","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6555"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6553"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-14","related":[],"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":"Remote attackers can write arbitrary files and execute code with root privileges in Quest Privilege Manager when configured as a policy server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6554/"}
