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-2022-25631 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Protection. 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-2022-25631/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25631/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-25631","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25631/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-25631","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cpjp-5929-98gg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Protection","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit this vulnerability in Symantec Endpoint Protection to gain elevated privileges on the affected system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"symantec_endpoint_protection","vendor":"broadcom"}],"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-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Symantec Endpoint Protection, prior to 14.3 RU6 (14.3.9210.6000), may be susceptible to a Elevation of Privilege vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to compromise the software application to gain elevated","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 Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2022-25631","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-25634"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Symantec Messaging Gateway","id":"CVE-2022-25630"},"products":["Symantec Endpoint Protection"],"published":"2023-01-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2022-37016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Symantec Endpoint Protection","id":"CVE-2022-37017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-01"}],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit this vulnerability in Symantec Endpoint Protection to gain elevated privileges on the affected system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-25631/"}
