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-2023-24491 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Citrix Secure Access client 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-2023-24491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-24491/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-24491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-24491/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-24491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cwcp-whhw-8qj7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Citrix Secure Access client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker with standard user access can escalate privileges to SYSTEM on endpoints running the Citrix Secure Access client for Windows.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Citrix","cpe":[{"product":"secure_access_client","vendor":"citrix"}],"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-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been discovered in the Citrix Secure Access client for Windows\n\nwhich, if exploited, could allow an attacker with access to an endpoint with Standard User Account that has the vulnerable client installed to escalate their local privileges to that of NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM.","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 Citrix Secure Access client for Windows","id":"CVE-2023-24491","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":"Code injection in Citrix Secure Access client for Ubuntu","id":"CVE-2023-24492"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Users with only access to launch VDA applications can launch an unauthorized desktop","id":"CVE-2023-24490"},"products":["Citrix Secure Access client for Windows"],"published":"2023-07-11","related":[{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Code injection in Citrix Secure Access client for Ubuntu","id":"CVE-2023-24492","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-11"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Citrix Secure Access - Local Privilege escalation allows a low-privileged user to gain SYSTEM privileges","id":"CVE-2025-0320","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-17"},{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"An attacker can gain application privileges in order to perform limited modification and/or read arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2025-1222","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-20"},{"cvss_score":5.8,"headline":"An attacker can gain application privileges in order to perform limited modification and/or read arbitrary data","id":"CVE-2025-1223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-20"}],"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":"2024-11-07","vendors":["Citrix"]},"summary":"An attacker with standard user access can escalate privileges to SYSTEM on endpoints running the Citrix Secure Access client for Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-24491/"}
