It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-37340 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-37340 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows, published on 16 Feb 2023. 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-2022-37340 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows. 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-2022-37340/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37340/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-37340","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37340/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-37340","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jphj-xrhq-96vq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Intel QAT Windows driver","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in Intel QAT Windows drivers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"intel","cpe":[{"product":"quickassist_technology","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-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path in some Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows before version 1.6 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) QAT drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-37340","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":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Ethernet Adapters and Intel(R) Ethernet Controller I225 Manageability firmware","id":"CVE-2022-37341"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress Meet My Team plugin \u003c= 2.0.5 - Authenticated Stored Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-37339"},"products":["Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows"],"published":"2023-02-16","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QAT software drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-20714","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) QAT software drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-20767","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel QAT Driver for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-21804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-41699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-10"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QAT drivers for Windows - HW Version 1.0","id":"CVE-2023-28741","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Intel(R) QAT for Linux","id":"CVE-2020-12333","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-12"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in Intel(R) QAT Windows software","id":"CVE-2025-27713","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-11-11"}],"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":"2025-01-27","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated local attacker can escalate privileges via an uncontrolled search path in Intel QAT Windows drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-37340/"}
