It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2021-31938 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Visual Studio Code - Kubernetes Tools. 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-2021-31938/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31938/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-31938","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31938/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-31938","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-47xv-rr7v-mrp5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VS Code Kubernetes extension","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit the VS Code Kubernetes Tools extension to elevate privileges on the developer's machine.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"kubernetes_tools","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Microsoft VsCode Kubernetes Tools Extension Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","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":"Microsoft VsCode Kubernetes Tools Extension Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-31938","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":"Microsoft Excel Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-31939"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-31937"},"products":["Visual Studio Code - Kubernetes Tools"],"published":"2021-06-08","related":[],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit the VS Code Kubernetes Tools extension to elevate privileges on the developer's machine.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-31938/"}
