It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-21172 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-21172 is a medium-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products, published on 18 Aug 2022. 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-2022-21172 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products. 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-2022-21172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21172/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-46gj-7wx3-prhg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel WiFi driver","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local privileged user can exploit an out-of-bounds write in Intel WiFi drivers to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"proset_wi-fi_6e_ax210_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6e_ax211_firmware","vendor":"intel"},{"product":"wi-fi_6e_ax411_firmware","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"Out of bounds write for some Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products may allow a privileged user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.","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":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products","id":"CVE-2022-21172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in ELECOM LAN routers","id":"CVE-2022-21173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2022-21171"},"products":["Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products"],"published":"2022-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products","id":"CVE-2022-21139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products","id":"CVE-2022-21160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products","id":"CVE-2022-21197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products","id":"CVE-2022-21212","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":4.4,"headline":"Information disclosure in Intel(R) PROSet/Wireless WiFi products","id":"CVE-2022-21240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"}],"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local privileged user can exploit an out-of-bounds write in Intel WiFi drivers to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21172/"}
