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-2022-0129 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: McAfee,LLC McAfee TechCheck. 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-2022-0129/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0129/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-0129","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-0129/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-0129","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w973-74m8-8xw5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee TechCheck utility","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local administrator can escalate privileges to system user by placing a malicious DLL in the application directory, affecting McAfee TechCheck utility.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"trellix","cpe":[{"product":"techcheck","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path element vulnerability in McAfee TechCheck prior to 4.0.0.2 allows a local administrator to load their own Dynamic Link Library (DLL) gaining elevation of privileges to system user.
