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-2021-24092 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Endpoint Protection. 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-2021-24092/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24092/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-24092","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24092/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-24092","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rh6f-h7jm-q6qr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Defender","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit this vulnerability in Microsoft Defender to elevate privileges on affected Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_protection","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"security_essentials","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"system_center_endpoint_protection","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_defender","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:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Microsoft Defender Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-08-22","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-08-22T14:56:08Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/HORKimhab/CVE-2021-24092","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2021-24092 - Draft or TODO"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Defender Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-24092","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 Graphics Component Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-24093"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows Camera Codec Pack Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-24091"},"products":["Microsoft Endpoint Protection","Microsoft Security Essentials","Microsoft System Center 2012 Endpoint Protection","Microsoft System Center 2012 R2 Endpoint Protection","Microsoft System Center Endpoint Protection","Windows Defender"],"published":"2021-02-25","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Malware Protection Engine Improper Restriction of Operations","id":"CVE-2017-8540","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft Malware Protection Engine","id":"CVE-2017-8558","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-29"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Malware Protection Engine","id":"CVE-2017-8535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-26"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Malware Protection Engine","id":"CVE-2017-8536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-26"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Malware Protection Engine","id":"CVE-2017-8537","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-26"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit this vulnerability in Microsoft Defender to elevate privileges on affected Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-24092/"}
