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-2023-38042 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ivanti Secure Access 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-2023-38042/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38042/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38042","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38042/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38042","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-32wf-9fvj-8hx8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ivanti Secure Access Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local privilege escalation flaw in Ivanti Secure Access Client allows low-privileged users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"secure_access_client","vendor":"ivanti"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in Ivanti Secure Access Client for Windows allows a low privileged user to execute code as SYSTEM.","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 Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2023-38042","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Secure Access Client Windows","id":"CVE-2023-38043"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Race condition in Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2023-38041"},"products":["Secure Access Client"],"published":"2024-05-31","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2026-8992","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2023-35080","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Denial of service in Secure Access Client Windows","id":"CVE-2023-38043","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Denial of service in Secure Access Client Windows","id":"CVE-2023-38543","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Race condition in Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2026-7432","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2025-22454","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Secure Access Client","id":"CVE-2024-37398","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-13"}],"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":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Ivanti"]},"summary":"A local privilege escalation flaw in Ivanti Secure Access Client allows low-privileged users to execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38042/"}
