It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-33898 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) NUC Watchdog Timer installation software. 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-2022-33898/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-33898/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-33898","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-33898/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-33898","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-59x7-fjc6-6prx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel NUC Watchdog Timer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to insecure inherited permissions in Intel NUC Watchdog Timer software.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"nuc_watchdog_timer_utility","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"},{"id":"CWE-277","name":"Insecure Inherited Permissions"}],"description":"Insecure inherited permissions in some Intel(R) NUC Watchdog Timer installation software before version 2.0.21.0 may allow an authenticated user to potentially enable escalation of privilege via local access.","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 Intel(R) NUC Watchdog Timer installation software","id":"CVE-2022-33898","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":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority because it is Unused","id":"CVE-2022-33899"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in R1510","id":"CVE-2022-33897"},"products":["Intel(R) NUC Watchdog Timer installation software"],"published":"2023-11-14","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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-30","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local user can escalate privileges due to insecure inherited permissions in Intel NUC Watchdog Timer software.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-33898/"}
