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-2021-4480 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dräger Protector Software. 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-2021-4480/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-4480/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-4480","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-4480/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-4480","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w85v-g7rp-mcgm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dräger Protector Software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by replacing binaries or modules due to insecure file permissions in Dräger Protector Software.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"Dräger Protector Software prior to version 6.4.2 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability due to insecure file system permissions that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
