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-2023-2331 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: 42Gears Surelock  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-2023-2331/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2331/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2331","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2331/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2331","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hjqc-mphx-j8hv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows device management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting an unquoted service path in the SureLock Windows application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"42Gears","cpe":[{"product":"surelock","vendor":"42gears"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-428","name":"Unquoted Search Path or Element"}],"description":"Unquoted service Path or Element vulnerability in 42Gears Surelock Windows SureLock Service (NixService.Exe) on Windows application will allows to insert arbitrary code into the service.\nThis issue affects Surelock Windows : from 2.3.12 through 2.40.0.","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":"Bypassing hardening via Unquoted Service path vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-2331","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) in pimcore/pimcore","id":"CVE-2023-2332"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Caldera Forms Google Sheets Connector \u003c 1.3 - Access Code Update via CSRF","id":"CVE-2023-2330"},"products":["Surelock  Windows "],"published":"2023-04-27","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Plaintext Password in Registry","id":"CVE-2023-2335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-27"}],"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":"2025-01-30","vendors":["42Gears"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges by exploiting an unquoted service path in the SureLock Windows application.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2331/"}
