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-2018-16962 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-2018-16962/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16962/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16962","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16962/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16962","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g76p-q66j-mc8v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting improper access controls in the Webroot SecureAnywhere macOS driver.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"secureanywhere","vendor":"webroot"}],"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-123","name":"Write-what-where Condition"}],"description":"Webroot SecureAnywhere before 9.0.8.34 on macOS mishandles access to the driver by a process that lacks root 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 n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16962","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16965"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16961"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in Secure Anywhere","id":"CVE-2021-40424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-14"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in Secure Anywhere","id":"CVE-2021-40425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-14"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29818","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-12"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29819","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-12"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-29820","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-12"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting improper access controls in the Webroot SecureAnywhere macOS driver.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16962/"}
