It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-2480 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: M-Files Client. 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-2023-2480/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2480/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-2480","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2480/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-2480","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xgf2-5w76-r5jg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"M-Files Desktop Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can elevate privileges via UI extension applications due to missing access permission checks in the M-Files Desktop Client.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"M-Files Corporation","cpe":[{"product":"m-files","vendor":"m-files"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-280","name":"Improper Handling of Insufficient Permissions or Privileges"}],"description":"Missing access permissions checks in M-Files Client before 23.5.12598.0 (excluding 23.2 SR2 and newer) allows elevation of privilege via UI extension applications","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":"Elevation of Privilege in M-Files Desktop Client","id":"CVE-2023-2480","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Key duplication in GSDK","id":"CVE-2023-2481"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"OS Command Injection in appium/appium-desktop","id":"CVE-2023-2479"},"products":["M-Files Client"],"published":"2023-05-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Local Elevation of Privilege in M-Files","id":"CVE-2023-0213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-29"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Stored XSS Vulnerability in M-Files Web","id":"CVE-2023-4479","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-04"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Incorrect privilege assignment in M-Files Web Server","id":"CVE-2022-4264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-09"}],"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":"2026-02-23","vendors":["M-Files"]},"summary":"Attackers can elevate privileges via UI extension applications due to missing access permission checks in the M-Files Desktop Client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-2480/"}
