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-2022-4429 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NortonLifelock (GenDigital) Avira Security 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-2022-4429/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4429/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4429","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4429/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4429","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gxx5-7x36-j997"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Avira Security","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with administrative privileges can exploit an unquoted service path to cause denial of service or escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"NLOK","cpe":[{"product":"avira_security","vendor":"avira"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Avira Security for Windows contains an unquoted service path which allows attackers with local administrative privileges to cause a Denial of Service. The issue was fixed with Avira Security version 1.1.78","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":"Avira Security for Windows - Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2022-4429","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":"WOOCS \u003c 1.3.9.4 - Contributor+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2022-4431"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"support_uri validation missing in WARP client for Windows","id":"CVE-2022-4428"},"products":["Avira Security for Windows"],"published":"2023-01-10","related":[{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Software Updater of Avira Security for Windows vulnerable to Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-3368","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-17"}],"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":"2025-04-08","vendors":["NortonLifelock (GenDigital)"]},"summary":"Local attackers with administrative privileges can exploit an unquoted service path to cause denial of service or escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4429/"}
