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-2023-41971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Zscaler Client Connector. 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-2023-41971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-41971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41971/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-41971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h695-7mxq-qwxc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Zscaler Client Connector","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can overwrite system files via improper link resolution during upgrade, leading to privilege escalation or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Zscaler","cpe":[{"product":"client_connector","vendor":"zscaler"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"An Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following') vulnerability in Zscaler Client Connector on Windows allows a system file to be overwritten.This issue affects Client Connector on Windows: before 3.7.","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 ZCC Upgrade DoS And Privilege Escalation Through RPC Control","id":"CVE-2023-41971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Revert password check incorrect type validation","id":"CVE-2023-41972"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Repair App local code execution with arbitrary privileges","id":"CVE-2023-41970"},"products":["Client Connector"],"published":"2024-05-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-11633","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Anti-Tampering bypass via Repair App functionality","id":"CVE-2024-23463","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-30"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Linux ZCC allows unsigned updates, allowing elevated Code Execution","id":"CVE-2023-28804","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-23"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Open redirect in Client Connector","id":"CVE-2023-28799","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-22"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Output encoding missing in redrurl parameter","id":"CVE-2023-28800","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Signature validation issue leads to Anti-Tampering bypass","id":"CVE-2024-23456","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-08-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Anti-tampering can be disabled with uninstall password enforced","id":"CVE-2024-23457","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-01"}],"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Zscaler"]},"summary":"A local attacker can overwrite system files via improper link resolution during upgrade, leading to privilege escalation or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-41971/"}
