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-2022-42292 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NVIDIA GeForce Experience. 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-2022-42292/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42292/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-42292","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42292/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-42292","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wp35-336h-g4rc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NVIDIA GeForce Experience","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit symbolic link handling in NVContainer to escalate privileges, cause denial of service, or tamper with data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"nvidia","cpe":[{"product":"geforce_experience","vendor":"nvidia"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"NVIDIA GeForce Experience contains a vulnerability in the NVContainer component, where a user without administrator privileges can create a symbolic link to a file that requires elevated privileges to write to or modify, which may lead to denial of service, escalation of privilege or limited data tampering.","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":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2022-42292","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2022-42293"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2022-42291"},"products":["GeForce Experience"],"published":"2023-02-07","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2017-6250","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Quadro, NVS, and GeForce (all versions)","id":"CVE-2016-8812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-08"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-1073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-25"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Path traversal in GeForce Experience","id":"CVE-2022-42291","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-07"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Missing authorization in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2021-23175","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in NVIDIA GeForce Experience Software","id":"CVE-2020-5978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-10-23"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-25","vendors":["NVIDIA"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit symbolic link handling in NVContainer to escalate privileges, cause denial of service, or tamper with data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-42292/"}
