It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-1733 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft PsExec. 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-2021-1733/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1733/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-1733","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1733/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-1733","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8qf-q3qr-cmvm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sysinternals PsExec","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a flaw in Sysinternals PsExec to elevate privileges on the target system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"psexec","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Sysinternals PsExec Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Sysinternals PsExec Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1733","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Remote Procedure Call Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1734"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Win32k Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2021-1732"},"products":["PsExec"],"published":"2021-02-25","related":[{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2730","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-09"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-19","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a flaw in Sysinternals PsExec to elevate privileges on the target system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-1733/"}
