It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2022-38028 in the wild since at least 23 Apr 2024.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 1507. 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-2022-38028/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38028/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38028","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38028/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38028","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5vrq-5cmx-xwfc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Print Spooler","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit the Windows Print Spooler service to elevate privileges on affected Windows operating systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1507","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1607","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1809","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_20h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_21h1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_21h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2019","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2022","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Print Spooler Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38028","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2024-04-23","dueDate":"2024-05-14","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Windows","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
