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-2022-22964 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: VMware Horizon Agent for 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-2022-22964/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22964/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-22964","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22964/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-22964","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cqvx-68xp-4vj9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Horizon Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in VMware Horizon Agent for Linux allows users to gain root access via a vulnerable configuration file.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"horizon","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"VMware Horizon Agent for Linux (prior to 22.x) contains a local privilege escalation that allows a user to escalate to root due to a vulnerable configuration file.","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 VMware Horizon Agent for Linux","id":"CVE-2022-22964","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":"Spring Framework JDK 9+ Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-22965"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"VMware Tanzu Spring Cloud Function Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2022-22963"},"products":["VMware Horizon Agent for Linux"],"published":"2022-04-11","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in VMware Horizon Agent for Linux","id":"CVE-2022-22962","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-11"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-22938","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-28"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in VMware Horizon Server","id":"CVE-2020-3997","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in VMware Horizon Connection Server","id":"CVE-2019-5513","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-09"}],"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":"2024-08-03","vendors":["VMware"]},"summary":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in VMware Horizon Agent for Linux allows users to gain root access via a vulnerable configuration file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-22964/"}
