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-2022-23742 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-23742 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows, published on 12 May 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-2022-23742 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows. 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-2022-23742/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23742/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23742","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23742/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23742","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-427v-j2g7-ww5m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Security Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can replace forensics report files via symbolic links or malicious content, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"checkpoint","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"checkpoint"}],"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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-65","name":"Windows Hard Link"}],"description":"Check Point Endpoint Security Client for Windows versions earlier than E86.40 copy files for forensics reports from a directory with low privileges.
