It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2022-22960 in the wild since at least 15 Apr 2022.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Cloud Foundation. 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-2022-22960/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22960/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-22960","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22960/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-22960","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8r7c-vjv4-wp6x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware identity automation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges to root due to improper permissions in support scripts within VMware identity and automation products.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_foundation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"identity_manager","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vrealize_automation","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"vrealize_suite_lifecycle_manager","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workspace_one_access","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"VMware Workspace ONE Access, Identity Manager and vRealize Automation contain a privilege escalation vulnerability due to improper permissions in support scripts.
