It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-4936 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Synaptics DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows. 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-2023-4936/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4936/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-4936","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4936/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-4936","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2pmm-w9v7-r79x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DisplayLink USB Graphics","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by sideloading a malicious DLL during the installation of DisplayLink USB Graphics Software.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Synaptics","cpe":[{"product":"displaylink","vendor":"synaptics"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"},{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"It is possible to sideload a compromised DLL during the installation at elevated privilege.","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":"Synaptics-DisplayLink-privilege escalation vulnerability via a dynamic library sideloading","id":"CVE-2023-4936","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"BEAR \u003c= 1.1.3.3 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Product Manipulation","id":"CVE-2023-4937"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"BEAR \u003c= 1.1.3.3 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Profile Creation","id":"CVE-2023-4935"},"products":["DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Windows"],"published":"2023-10-11","related":[],"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":"2024-09-18","vendors":["Synaptics"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by sideloading a malicious DLL during the installation of DisplayLink USB Graphics Software.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-4936/"}
