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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-5981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sony Corporation VAIO Update. 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-2019-5981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-5981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5981/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-5981","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gf4m-284g-ppr8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sony VAIO Update","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges due to improper authorization in Sony VAIO Update.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"vaio_update","vendor":"sony"}],"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":[],"description":"Improper authorization vulnerability in VAIO Update 7.3.0.03150 and earlier allows an attackers to execute arbitrary executable file with administrative privilege via unspecified vectors.","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 VAIO Update","id":"CVE-2019-5981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in VAIO Update","id":"CVE-2019-5982"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Related YouTube Videos","id":"CVE-2019-5980"},"products":["VAIO Update"],"published":"2019-07-05","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in VAIO Update","id":"CVE-2019-5982","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-05"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["Sony Corporation"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with administrative privileges due to improper authorization in Sony VAIO Update.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5981/"}
