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-2023-44218 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SonicWall NetExtender. 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-2023-44218/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44218/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-44218","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44218/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-44218","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rhwm-gx2m-c396"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"SonicWall NetExtender","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthorized local user can exploit the Pre-Logon feature to gain SYSTEM level privileges on the host Windows operating system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"sonicwall","cpe":[{"product":"netextender","vendor":"sonicwall"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-267","name":"Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions"}],"description":"A flaw within the SonicWall NetExtender Pre-Logon feature enables an unauthorized user to gain access to the host Windows operating system with 'SYSTEM' level privileges, leading to a local privilege escalation (LPE) 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":"Privilege escalation in NetExtender","id":"CVE-2023-44218","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":"Privilege escalation in Directory Services Connector","id":"CVE-2023-44219"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in NetExtender","id":"CVE-2023-44217"},"products":["NetExtender"],"published":"2023-10-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in NetExtender","id":"CVE-2023-44217","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-03"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in SonicWall NetExtender Windows (32 and 64 bit) Client","id":"CVE-2022-22281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in SonicWall NetExtender","id":"CVE-2020-5131","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-17"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Other in NetExtender","id":"CVE-2023-44220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-27"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Code injection in NetExtender","id":"CVE-2024-29014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-18"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4173","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-08-26"}],"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":"2024-09-20","vendors":["SonicWall"]},"summary":"An unauthorized local user can exploit the Pre-Logon feature to gain SYSTEM level privileges on the host Windows operating system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-44218/"}
