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-2022-23921 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: General Electric Proficy CIMPLICITY. 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-2022-23921/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23921/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-23921","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-23921/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-23921","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wx7q-6qjx-xwx8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"GE Proficy CIMPLICITY","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers with login access can escalate privileges and execute code in GE Proficy CIMPLICITY under specific licensing and runtime conditions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"proficy_cimplicitiy","vendor":"ge"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Exploitation of this vulnerability may result in local privilege escalation and code execution.
