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-2022-1804 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. 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-2022-1804/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1804/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-1804","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1804/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-1804","record":{"aliases":["AZL-66686","GHSA-v7v5-m765-h4w4","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-1804","USN-5439-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux accountsservice","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges because accountsservice fails to drop permissions when writing .pam_environment files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"accountsservice","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"accountsservice no longer drops permissions when writting .pam_environment","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Accountsservice incorrectly drops privileges","id":"CVE-2022-1804","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"canonical:ubuntu_linux","products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Tera2 Zero Client","id":"CVE-2022-1805"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames in polonel/trudesk","id":"CVE-2022-1803"},"products":["Linux"],"published":"2025-03-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Use after free in AccountService","id":"CVE-2023-3297","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Free of static data in accountsservice","id":"CVE-2021-3939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-17"},{"cvss_score":3.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4406","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-16"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-25","vendors":["Ubuntu"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges because accountsservice fails to drop permissions when writing .pam_environment files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-1804/"}
