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-2022-43440 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Checkmk Checkmk. 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-2022-43440/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43440/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-43440","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43440/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-43440","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c5gc-w2vf-pmgw","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-43440"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Checkmk monitoring server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A site user can escalate privileges on the Checkmk server by manipulating the unixcat executable due to an uncontrolled search path element.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Tribe29","cpe":[{"product":"checkmk","vendor":"checkmk"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element in Checkmk Agent in Tribe29 Checkmk before 2.1.0p1, before 2.0.0p25 and before 1.6.0p29 on a Checkmk server allows the site user to escalate privileges via a manipulated unixcat executable","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Privilege escalation via manipulated unixcat executable","id":"CVE-2022-43440","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"checkmk:checkmk","products":["checkmk:checkmk"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"sqlite vulnerable to code execution due to Object coercion","id":"CVE-2022-43441"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in POWER METER SICAM Q100","id":"CVE-2022-43439"},"products":["Checkmk"],"published":"2023-02-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"omd: Local privilege escalation when executing omd commands as root","id":"CVE-2025-39666","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-07"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Fix 2FA bypass via RestAPI","id":"CVE-2024-8606","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-23"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"PHP code injection in watolib","id":"CVE-2022-46836","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in Windows License plugin for Checkmk Windows Agent","id":"CVE-2025-32919","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows agent","id":"CVE-2024-28827","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"1-Click compromize via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-28828","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Unrestricted upload and download paths in check_sftp","id":"CVE-2024-28826","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-29"}],"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":"2025-03-24","vendors":["Tribe29"]},"summary":"A site user can escalate privileges on the Checkmk server by manipulating the unixcat executable due to an uncontrolled search path element.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-43440/"}
