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-2021-31776 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2021-31776/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31776/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-31776","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31776/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-31776","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5m6v-4w72-r82q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Aviatrix VPN Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to SYSTEM via unquoted search path in Aviatrix VPN Client on misconfigured Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vpn_client","vendor":"aviatrix"}],"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-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Aviatrix VPN Client before 2.14.14 on Windows has an unquoted search path that enables local privilege escalation to the SYSTEM user, if the machine is misconfigured to allow unprivileged users to write to directories that are supposed to be restricted to administrators.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2021-31776","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"SQL Injection in t3/dce","id":"CVE-2021-31777"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2021-31771"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-04-29","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-17387","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-17388","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-05"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to SYSTEM via unquoted search path in Aviatrix VPN Client on misconfigured Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31776/"}
