It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-12177 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-12177 is a high-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software, published on 10 Jan 2019. 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-2018-12177 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software. 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-2018-12177/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12177/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12177","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12177/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12177","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pvwr-rx22-jp4j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi Software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authorized local user can escalate privileges due to improper directory permissions in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software ZeroConfig service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"proset\\/wireless_software","vendor":"intel"}],"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":"Improper directory permissions in the ZeroConfig service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software before version 20.90.0.7 may allow an authorized user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.","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 Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software","id":"CVE-2018-12177","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Extensible Firmware Interface Development Kit (EDK II)","id":"CVE-2018-12178"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in Intel(R) NUC Kits and Intel(R) Compute Cards","id":"CVE-2018-12176"},"products":["Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software"],"published":"2019-01-10","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Intel Corporation"]},"summary":"An authorized local user can escalate privileges due to improper directory permissions in the Intel PROSet/Wireless WiFi Software ZeroConfig service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12177/"}
