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-2019-8455 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Check Point ZoneAlarm. 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-2019-8455/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8455/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8455","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8455/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8455","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p9rv-6vff-wq29"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ZoneAlarm security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit hard links to modify permissions of protected files, gaining unauthorized access to sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"checkpoint","cpe":[{"product":"zonealarm","vendor":"checkpoint"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","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 the log file of Check Point ZoneAlarm up to 15.4.062 to any file on the system will get its permission changed so that all users can access that linked file.
