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-2022-24618 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2022-24618/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24618/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-24618","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24618/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-24618","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-76cf-8m83-6vv8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Heimdal Premium Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged local users can elevate privileges to SYSTEM by exploiting insecure permissions in the Heimdal Premium Security installer.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"heimdal_premium_security","vendor":"heimdalsecurity"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-281","name":"Improper Preservation of Permissions"}],"description":"Heimdal.Wizard.exe installer in Heimdal Premium Security 2.5.395 and earlier has insecure permissions, which allows unprivileged local users to elevate privileges to SYSTEM via the \"Browse For Folder\" window accessible by triggering a \"Repair\" on the MSI package located in C:\\Windows\\Installer.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2022-24618","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-24620"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Uncaught Exception in zip4j","id":"CVE-2022-24615"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-03-09","related":[],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-07-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Unprivileged local users can elevate privileges to SYSTEM by exploiting insecure permissions in the Heimdal Premium Security installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-24618/"}
