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-2023-41138 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AppsAnywhere 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-2023-41138/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41138/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41138","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41138/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41138","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x43q-54p7-vw63"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS client helper","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"A local user can trick the AppsAnywhere macOS helper into executing arbitrary commands with elevated permissions, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"AppCheck","cpe":[{"product":"appsanywhere_client","vendor":"appsanywhere"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"},{"id":"CWE-226","name":"Sensitive Information in Resource Not Removed Before Reuse"}],"description":"The AppsAnywhere macOS client-privileged helper can be tricked into executing arbitrary commands with elevated permissions by a local user process.","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 AppsAnywhere Client","id":"CVE-2023-41138","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":"Null dereference in AutoCAD, Advance Steel and Civil 3D","id":"CVE-2023-41139"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in AppsAnywhere Client","id":"CVE-2023-41137"},"products":["AppsAnywhere Client"],"published":"2023-11-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in AppsAnywhere Client","id":"CVE-2023-41137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-11-09"}],"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":"2024-09-04","vendors":["AppsAnywhere"]},"summary":"A local user can trick the AppsAnywhere macOS helper into executing arbitrary commands with elevated permissions, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41138/"}
