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-2023-30438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM PowerVM Hypervisor. 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-2023-30438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-30438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-30438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-30438/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-30438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8m9h-3vxr-jw8j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM PowerVM Hypervisor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Privileged users in a logical partition can violate isolation to execute code or leak data in other partitions on the same physical server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"powervm_hypervisor","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"An internally discovered vulnerability in PowerVM on IBM Power9 and Power10 systems could allow an attacker with privileged user access to a logical partition to perform an undetected violation of the isolation between logical partitions which could lead to data leakage or the execution of arbitrary code in other logical partitions on the same physical server.
