It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2022-45853 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2022-45853 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Zyxel GS1900-8 firmware, published on 30 May 2023. 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-2022-45853 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zyxel GS1900-8 firmware. 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-2022-45853/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-45853/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-45853","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-45853/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-45853","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zyxel managed switch","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local administrator can execute system commands as root via SSH on Zyxel GS1900 switches, leading to full device compromise.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zyxel","cpe":[{"product":"gs1900-10hp_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-16_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-24_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-24e_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-24ep_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-24hpv2_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-48_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-48hpv2_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-8_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"},{"product":"gs1900-8hp_firmware","vendor":"zyxel"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"},{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The privilege escalation vulnerability in the Zyxel GS1900-8 firmware version \n\nV2.70(AAHH.3) and the GS1900-8HP firmware version V2.70(AAHI.3) could allow an authenticated, local attacker with administrator privileges to execute some system commands as 'root' on a vulnerable device via SSH.","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 GS1900-8 firmware","id":"CVE-2022-45853","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":"Denial of service in NWA110AX firmware","id":"CVE-2022-45854"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"WordPress WP-FormAssembly plugin \u003c= 2.0.5 - Auth.
