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-2021-45336/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45336/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-45336","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45336/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-45336","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m6f5-297g-9hqj"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"antivirus","vendor":"avast"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Privilege escalation vulnerability in the Sandbox component of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local sandboxed code to gain elevated privileges by using system IPC interfaces which could lead to exit the sandbox and acquire SYSTEM privileges.","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 vulnerability in the Sandbox component of Avast Antivirus prior to 20.4 allows a local sandboxed code to gain elevated","id":"CVE-2021-45336","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":null,"year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45337"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45335"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2021-12-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Race condition in (Free/Inernet Security/Ultimate) Antivirus","id":"CVE-2025-13032","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-01"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8307","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-27"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Integer Overflow in Avast Antiviurs 25.1.981.6 on Windows may result in privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2025-3500","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-45337","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-27"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-45336/"}
