An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-6885 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Flexera Software LLC FlexNet Manager Suite. 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-2017-6885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-6885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6885/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-6885","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j428-6834-f6ch"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FlexNet Manager Suite","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit improper handling of external commands in FlexNet Manager Suite to gain elevated privileges on the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"flexera","cpe":[{"product":"flexnet_manager_suite","vendor":"flexerasoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"An error when handling certain external commands and services related to the FlexNet Inventory Agent and FlexNet Beacon of the Flexera Software FlexNet Manager Suite 2017 before 2017 R1 and 2014 R3 through 2016 R1 SP1 can be exploited to gain elevated privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in FlexNet Manager Suite","id":"CVE-2017-6885","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in LibRaw","id":"CVE-2017-6886"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Zyxel EMG2926 Routers Command Injection","id":"CVE-2017-6884"},"products":["FlexNet Manager Suite"],"published":"2017-05-16","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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Flexera Software LLC"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit improper handling of external commands in FlexNet Manager Suite to gain elevated privileges on the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-6885/"}
