It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-17776 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-2018-17776/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17776/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-17776","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17776/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-17776","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6v2j-64px-rm5x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PCProtect Anti-Virus","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by replacing executables in the PCProtect directory due to overly permissive file permissions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"antivirus","vendor":"pcprotect"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"PCProtect Anti-Virus v4.8.35 has \"Everyone: (F)\" permission for %PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\\PCProtect, which allows local users to gain privileges by replacing an executable file with a Trojan horse.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-09-28","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-09-28","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"45503","stars":null,"title":"PCProtect 4.8.35 - Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-17776","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-17777"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-17775"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-09-28","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-16913","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-07"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by replacing executables in the PCProtect directory due to overly permissive file permissions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17776/"}
