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-2023-5993 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Thales SafeNet Authentication Client. 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-2023-5993/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5993/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-5993","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5993/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-5993","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hgjg-jggf-65cx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SafeNet Authentication Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via a flaw in the Windows Installer for Thales SafeNet Authentication Client.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"THA-PSIRT","cpe":[{"product":"safenet_authentication_client","vendor":"thalesgroup"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"A flaw in the Windows Installer in Thales SafeNet Authentication Client prior to 10.8 R10 on Windows allows an attacker to escalate their privilege level via local access.","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 SafeNet Authentication Client Installer","id":"CVE-2023-5993","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":"Incorrect Authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2023-5995"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Opensc: side-channel leaks while stripping encryption pkcs#1 padding","id":"CVE-2023-5992"},"products":["SafeNet Authentication Client"],"published":"2024-02-27","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in SafeNet Authentication Client","id":"CVE-2023-7016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-27"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42056","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-06-24"}],"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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["Thales"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via a flaw in the Windows Installer for Thales SafeNet Authentication Client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-5993/"}
