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-2019-8452 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Check Point Endpoint Security client for Windows. 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-2019-8452/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8452/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8452","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8452/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8452","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5prc-43fj-m4f2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Security Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit hard links to modify file permissions, gaining unauthorized access to restricted files and escalating privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"checkpoint","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"checkpoint"},{"product":"zonealarm","vendor":"checkpoint"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-65","name":"Windows Hard Link"}],"description":"A hard-link created from log file archive of Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 or Check Point Endpoint Security client for Windows before E80.96 to any file on the system will get its permission changed so that all users can access that linked file.
