An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2017-9769 exists.\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-2017-9769/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9769/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-9769","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9769/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-9769","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h552-jrvp-gg25"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Razer Synapse driver","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a flaw in the Razer Synapse driver to open handles to arbitrary processes, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"synapse","vendor":"razer"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"A specially crafted IOCTL can be issued to the rzpnk.sys driver in Razer Synapse 2.20.15.1104 that is forwarded to ZwOpenProcess allowing a handle to be opened to an arbitrary process.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2017-03-22","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":13,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2020-11-03T10:58:53Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kkent030315/CVE-2017-9769","stars":13,"title":"A specially crafted IOCTL can be issued to the rzpnk.sys driver in Razer Synapse 2.20.15.1104 that is forwarded to ZwOpenProcess allowing a handle to be opened to an arbitrary process."},{"date":"2017-03-22","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/local/razer_zwopenprocess","stars":null,"title":"Razer Synapse rzpnk.sys ZwOpenProcess"},{"date":"2017-07-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"42368","stars":null,"title":"Razer Synapse 2.20.15.1104 - rzpnk.sys ZwOpenProcess (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9769","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9770"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9767"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11652","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Razer Synapse 3 Macro Module Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-9869","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Razer Synapse 3 RazerPhilipsHueUninstall Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-9870","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Razer Synapse 3 Chroma Connect Link Following Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-9871","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-29"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-47631","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-14398","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-13"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit a flaw in the Razer Synapse driver to open handles to arbitrary processes, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9769/"}
