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-2022-21827 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Citrix Gateway Windows Plugin. 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-2022-21827/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21827/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21827","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21827/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21827","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h578-jrpj-wc47"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Citrix Gateway Windows Plugin","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can corrupt or delete files with SYSTEM privileges in the Citrix Gateway Plug-in for Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"gateway_plug-in","vendor":"citrix"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"An improper privilege vulnerability has been discovered in Citrix Gateway Plug-in for Windows (Citrix Secure Access for Windows) \u003c21.9.1.2 what could allow an attacker who has gained local access to a computer with Citrix Gateway Plug-in installed, to corrupt or delete files as SYSTEM.","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 in Citrix Gateway Windows Plugin","id":"CVE-2022-21827","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Deserialization in Ivanti Incapptic Connect","id":"CVE-2022-21828"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Pulse Connect Secure VPN Server","id":"CVE-2022-21826"},"products":["Citrix Gateway Windows Plugin"],"published":"2022-05-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Citrix Gateway Plug-in for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-8257","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Citrix Gateway Plug-in for Windows","id":"CVE-2020-8258","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-14"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can corrupt or delete files with SYSTEM privileges in the Citrix Gateway Plug-in for Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21827/"}
