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-2023-28596 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-28596 is a high-severity vulnerability in Zoom Client for Meetings for IT Admin macOS installers, published on 27 Mar 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-2023-28596 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zoom Client for Meetings for IT Admin macOS installers. 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-2023-28596/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28596/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28596","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28596/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28596","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4hfv-g3hm-82x2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zoom macOS installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local low-privileged user can escalate privileges to root during the installation process of Zoom for IT Admin on macOS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zoom","cpe":[{"product":"meetings","vendor":"zoom"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Zoom Client for IT Admin macOS installers before version 5.13.5 contain a local privilege escalation vulnerability.
