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-2022-21996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 11. 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-2022-21996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-21996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21996/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-21996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p64x-c79m-m5mv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a flaw in the Win32k component to elevate privileges on Windows 11 systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_11","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","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":"Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-21996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_11","products":["microsoft:windows_11"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-21997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-21995"},"products":["Windows 11 version 21H2"],"published":"2022-02-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SMB Client and Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-35804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-29133","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-38672","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Windows Ancillary Function Driver for WinSock Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-21768","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-10"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"DirectX Graphics Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-44710","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Internet Key Exchange (IKE) Protocol Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38036","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-11"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-02","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a flaw in the Win32k component to elevate privileges on Windows 11 systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-21996/"}
