An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-43976 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2023-43976/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43976/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43976","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43976/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43976","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-95w2-vgp5-32g4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CatoClient","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges via a race condition in the PrivilegedHelperTool component of CatoClient.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"cato_client","vendor":"catonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"An issue in CatoNetworks CatoClient before v.5.4.0 allows attackers to escalate privileges and winning the race condition (TOCTOU) via the PrivilegedHelperTool component.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43976","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43979"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-43971"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-10-03","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local Privilege Escalation via self-upgrade","id":"CVE-2024-6974","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local Privilege Escalation via openssl configuration file","id":"CVE-2024-6975","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Remote Code Execution in Cato Windows SDP client via crafted URLs","id":"CVE-2024-6973","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Sensitive data in trace logs can lead to account takeover","id":"CVE-2024-6977","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"CatoNetworks CatoClient up to 5.8 PrivilegedHelperTool Race Condition","id":"CVE-2025-3886","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-27"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"Cato Networks Windows SDP Client Local root certificates can be installed by low-privileged users","id":"CVE-2024-6978","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-20","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges via a race condition in the PrivilegedHelperTool component of CatoClient.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43976/"}
