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-2023-28892 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2023-28892/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28892/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-28892","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28892/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-28892","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xx2r-f4xg-6rg7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AdwCleaner","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by exploiting an insecure file deletion operation via symbolic link in AdwCleaner.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"adwcleaner","vendor":"malwarebytes"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"Malwarebytes AdwCleaner 8.4.0 runs as Administrator and performs an insecure file delete operation on C:\\AdwCleaner\\Logs\\AdwCleaner_Debug.log in which the target location is user-controllable, allowing a non-admin user to escalate privileges to SYSTEM via a symbolic link.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2023-28892","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Hard-coded password for access to power controller chip memory","id":"CVE-2023-28895"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-28885"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-03-29","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11507","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-19929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-23"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-02","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges to SYSTEM by exploiting an insecure file deletion operation via symbolic link in AdwCleaner.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-28892/"}
