It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2021-47862 exists.\n\nAffected product: HI-REZ STUDIOS HiPatchService. 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-2021-47862/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47862/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-47862","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-47862/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-47862","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v8p6-7qh4-372j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Hi-Rez Studios patcher","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting an unquoted service path in the HiPatchService during system startup.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Hi-Rez Studios 5.1.6.3 contains an unquoted service path vulnerability in the HiPatchService that allows local attackers to execute code with elevated privileges.
