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-2023-6338 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Lenovo Universal Device Client (UDC). 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-2023-6338/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6338/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6338","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6338/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6338","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4j56-jg72-x59r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lenovo Universal Device Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute code with elevated privileges via uncontrolled search path in Lenovo Universal Device Client.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"lenovo","cpe":[{"product":"universal_device_client","vendor":"lenovo"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled search path vulnerabilities were reported in the Lenovo Universal Device Client (UDC) that could allow an attacker with local access to execute code with elevated privileges.","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 Universal Device Client (UDC)","id":"CVE-2023-6338","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":"Google Nest WiFi Pro root code-execution \u0026 user-data compromise","id":"CVE-2023-6339"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Vault May be Vulnerable to a Denial of Service Through Memory Exhaustion When Handling Large HTTP Requests","id":"CVE-2023-6337"},"products":["Universal Device Client (UDC)"],"published":"2024-01-03","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in Universal Device Client (UDC)","id":"CVE-2023-3078","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-17"}],"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":"2025-06-03","vendors":["Lenovo"]},"summary":"Local attackers can execute code with elevated privileges via uncontrolled search path in Lenovo Universal Device Client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6338/"}
