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-2023-3899 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-3899 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Fedoraproject Fedora, published on 23 Aug 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-2023-3899 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fedoraproject Fedora. 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-2023-3899/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3899/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-3899","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-3899/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-3899","record":{"aliases":["ALSA-2023:4706","ALSA-2023:4708","AZL-28099","AZL-37046","GHSA-wp8h-m67c-cxpw","RHSA-2023:4701","RHSA-2023:4702","RHSA-2023:4703","RHSA-2023:4704","RHSA-2023:4705","RHSA-2023:4706","RHSA-2023:4707","RHSA-2023:4708","RLSA-2023:4706","RLSA-2023:4708"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat subscription-manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit inadequate D-Bus authorization in subscription-manager to modify configuration and escalate privileges to root.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_arm_64","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_arm_64_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_power_big_endian","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_for_scientific_computing","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_aus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_for_power_little_endian_update_services_for_sap_solutions","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_tus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_update_services_for_sap_solutions","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_update_services_for_sap_solutions","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"subscription-manager","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","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-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"}],"description":"A vulnerability was found in subscription-manager that allows local privilege escalation due to inadequate authorization. The D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 exposes a significant number of methods to all users that could change the state of the registration. By using the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method, a low-privileged local user could tamper with the state of the registration, by unregistering the system or by changing the current entitlements. This flaw allows an attacker to set arbitrary configuration directives for /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, which can be abused to cause a local privilege escalation to an unconfined
