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-2021-37852 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Windows. 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-2021-37852/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37852/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-37852","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37852/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-37852","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gj8g-jfxx-vxc7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ESET Windows Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by impersonating a client of a named pipe in ESET Windows security products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ESET","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_antivirus","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"file_security","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"internet_security","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"mail_security","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"nod32_antivirus","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"security","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"server_security","vendor":"eset"},{"product":"smart_security","vendor":"eset"}],"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","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"ESET products for Windows allows untrusted process to impersonate the client of a pipe, which can be leveraged by attacker to escalate privileges in the context of NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM.","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":"LPE in ESET products for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-37852","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2021-37853"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation in ESET product for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-37851"},"products":["ESET Endpoint Antivirus for Windows","ESET Endpoint Security for Windows","ESET File Security for Microsoft Windows Server","ESET Internet Security","ESET Mail Security for IBM Domino","ESET Mail Security for Microsoft Exchange Server","ESET NOD32 Antivirus","ESET Security for Microsoft SharePoint Server","ESET Server Security for Microsoft Azure","ESET Server Security for Microsoft Windows Server","ESET Smart Security"],"published":"2022-02-09","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Local privilege escalation in Windows products","id":"CVE-2024-0353","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Local privilege escalation in security products for Windows","id":"CVE-2023-3160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Improper following of a certificate's chain of trust in ESET security products","id":"CVE-2023-5594","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Local Privilege Escalation in ESET product for Windows","id":"CVE-2021-37851","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Arbitrary File Deletion in ESET products for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-27167","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-10"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Denial of Service in ESET products for Windows","id":"CVE-2024-3779","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-16"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["ESET"]},"summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by impersonating a client of a named pipe in ESET Windows security products.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-37852/"}
