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-2022-31705 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-31705 is a high-severity memory corruption vulnerability in Vmware Esxi, published on 14 Dec 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-2022-31705 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Esxi. 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-2022-31705/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31705/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-31705","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-31705/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-31705","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jx8f-jjvw-f6vf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware virtualization software","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with admin privileges in a VM can exploit a heap overflow in the USB controller to execute code on the host or within the VMX sandbox.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"esxi","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"fusion","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":8.2,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"VMware ESXi, Workstation, and Fusion contain a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the USB 2.0 controller (EHCI).
