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-2022-38774 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Elastic Endpoint Security and Elastic Endgame Security. 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-2022-38774/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38774/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-38774","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38774/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-38774","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q5g9-qj36-xxm3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Elastic Endpoint Security","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged users can elevate privileges to LocalSystem via a flaw in the quarantine feature of Elastic Endpoint Security on Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"endgame","vendor":"elastic"},{"product":"endpoint_security","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in the quarantine feature of Elastic Endpoint Security and Elastic Endgame for Windows, which could allow unprivileged users to elevate their privileges to those of the LocalSystem account.","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 Elastic Endpoint Security and Elastic Endgame Security","id":"CVE-2022-38774","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Elastic Endpoint Security","id":"CVE-2022-38775"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in SIMATIC Drive Controller CPU 1504D TF","id":"CVE-2022-38773"},"products":["Elastic Endpoint Security and Elastic Endgame Security"],"published":"2023-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Elastic Endpoint Security","id":"CVE-2022-38777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-08"}],"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":"2025-04-02","vendors":["Elastic"]},"summary":"Unprivileged users can elevate privileges to LocalSystem via a flaw in the quarantine feature of Elastic Endpoint Security on Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-38774/"}
