Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8448 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Elastic X-Pack Alerting. 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-2017-8448/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8448/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8448","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8448/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8448","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-frvx-m4v3-94v5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Elastic X-Pack Alerting","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Users with specific built-in roles can create watches to gain elevated privileges in Elastic X-Pack Alerting.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"x-pack","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"An error was found in the permission model used by X-Pack Alerting 5.0.0 to 5.6.0 whereby users mapped to certain built-in roles could create a watch that results in that user gaining 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 Elastic X-Pack Alerting","id":"CVE-2017-8448","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":"Information disclosure in Elastic X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8449"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Elastic X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8447"},"products":["Elastic X-Pack Alerting"],"published":"2017-09-28","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2018-3822","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8438","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-05"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in Elastic X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8450","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-16"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Elastic X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8447","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-28"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Elasticsearch X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8442","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-07"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Information disclosure in Elastic X-Pack Security","id":"CVE-2017-8449","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-16"}],"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":["Elastic"]},"summary":"Users with specific built-in roles can create watches to gain elevated privileges in Elastic X-Pack Alerting.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8448/"}
