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-2019-12577 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2019-12577 is a high-severity vulnerability in n/a, published on 11 Jul 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-2019-12577 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-2019-12577/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12577/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-12577","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12577/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-12577","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cmq2-x9rv-c486"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PIA VPN Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit insecure file permissions in the PIA VPN client to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"private_internet_access_vpn_client","vendor":"londontrustmedia"}],"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":"A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v82 for macOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to run arbitrary code with elevated privileges. The macOS binary openvpn_launcher.64 is setuid root. This binary creates /tmp/pia_upscript.sh when executed. Because the file creation mask (umask) is not reset, the umask value is inherited from the calling process. This value can be manipulated to cause the privileged binary to create files with world writable permissions. A local unprivileged user can modify /tmp/pia_upscript.sh during the connect process to execute arbitrary code as the root user.","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-2019-12577","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12578"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12576"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-07-11","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12574","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12575","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12576","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12578","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12579","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12571","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit insecure file permissions in the PIA VPN client to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12577/"}
