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-2019-12174 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-2019-12174/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12174/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-12174","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12174/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-12174","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-77qr-3c92-9xhq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS VPN client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to root and execute arbitrary code via the hide.me VPN helper tool on macOS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"hide.me","vendor":"hide"}],"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-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"hide.me before 2.4.4 on macOS suffers from a privilege escalation vulnerability in the connectWithExecutablePath:configFilePath:configFileName method of the me_hide_vpnhelper.Helper class in the me.hide.vpnhelper macOS privilege helper tool.
