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-2023-28143 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Qualys Cloud Agent. 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-2023-28143/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28143/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28143","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28143/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28143","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-crgr-4cw4-mj2w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Qualys Cloud Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges during installation on older macOS versions due to insecure file permissions in the Qualys Cloud Agent installer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Qualys","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_agent","vendor":"qualys"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"Qualys Cloud Agent for macOS (versions 2.5.1-75 before 3.7)\ninstaller allows a local escalation of privilege bounded only to the time of\ninstallation and only on older macOSX (macOS 10.15 and older) versions.\nAttackers may exploit incorrect file permissions to give them ROOT command\nexecution privileges on the host.
