Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2023-38186 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-38186 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10 21h2, published on 8 Aug 2023. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-38186 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 21h2. 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-2023-38186/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38186/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-38186","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38186/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-38186","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7vm7-m762-pgv3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Mobile Device Management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit missing authorization in Windows Mobile Device Management to escalate privileges on affected Windows systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_21h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_21h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_11_22h2","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2022","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"Windows Mobile Device Management Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","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":"Windows Mobile Device Management Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-38186","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10_21h2","products":["microsoft:windows_10_21h2","microsoft:windows_10_22h2","microsoft:windows_11_21h2","microsoft:windows_11_22h2","microsoft:windows_server_2022"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based) Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-38187"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft Exchange Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-38185"},"products":["Windows 10 Version 21H2","Windows 10 Version 22H2","Windows 11 version 21H2","Windows 11 version 22H2","Windows Server 2022"],"published":"2023-08-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Heap-based Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-21333","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2025-21334","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Hyper-V NT Kernel Integration VSP Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2025-21335","kev_date_added":"2025-01-14","published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Windows TCP/IP Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-42904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-105733","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows AppX Deployment Extensions Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-69945","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Graphics Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-88073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"}],"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":"2026-08-10","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit missing authorization in Windows Mobile Device Management to escalate privileges on affected Windows systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-38186/"}
