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-2023-5622 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Tenable Nessus Network Monitor. 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-2023-5622/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5622/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5622","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5622/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5622","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2wg8-2hgh-5f85"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Nessus Network Monitor","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A low-privileged user can escalate to SYSTEM on Windows by replacing a crafted file in Nessus Network Monitor.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"nessus_network_monitor","vendor":"tenable"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Under certain conditions, Nessus Network Monitor could allow a low privileged user to escalate privileges to NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM on Windows hosts by replacing a specially crafted file.","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","id":"CVE-2023-5622","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","id":"CVE-2023-5623"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Thumbnail Slider With Lightbox \u003c= 1.0 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Image Title","id":"CVE-2023-5621"},"products":["Nessus Network Monitor"],"published":"2023-10-26","related":[{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"XSS","id":"CVE-2024-9158","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-30"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Improper Access Control leads to Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-24917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Nessus Network Monitor","id":"CVE-2020-5794","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-11-06"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Blind SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2023-5624","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-26"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Improper Access Control leads to Local Priviledge Escalation","id":"CVE-2025-24916","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-23"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-5623","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-10-26"}],"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":"2024-08-02","vendors":["Tenable"]},"summary":"A low-privileged user can escalate to SYSTEM on Windows by replacing a crafted file in Nessus Network Monitor.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5622/"}
