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-2022-28768 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-28768 is a high-severity vulnerability in Zoom Client for Meetings Installer for macOS (Standard and for IT Admin), published on 17 Nov 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-2022-28768 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zoom Client for Meetings Installer for macOS (Standard and for IT Admin). 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-2022-28768/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-28768/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-28768","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-28768/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-28768","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r47f-52cf-34c7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zoom macOS installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local low-privileged user can escalate privileges to root during the Zoom macOS installer process, requiring an upgrade to the latest version.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zoom","cpe":[{"product":"meetings","vendor":"zoom"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"},{"id":"CWE-689","name":"Permission Race Condition During Resource Copy"}],"description":"The Zoom Client for Meetings Installer for macOS (Standard and for IT Admin) before version 5.12.6 contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability.
