It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2024-20686 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2024-20686 is a high-severity vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server 2022 23h2, published on 9 Jan 2024. 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-2024-20686 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Server 2022 23h2. 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-2024-20686/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20686/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-20686","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20686/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-20686","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wwcg-p45r-pv65"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a Win32k vulnerability to elevate privileges on Windows Server systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_server_2022_23h2","vendor":"microsoft"}],"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/E:U/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-591","name":"Sensitive Data Storage in Improperly Locked Memory"}],"description":"Win32k Elevation of Privilege 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":"Win32k Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20686","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_server_2022_23h2","products":["microsoft:windows_server_2022_23h2"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Microsoft AllJoyn API Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20687"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Azure Private 5G Core Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-20685"},"products":["Windows Server 2022, 23H2 Edition (Server Core installation)"],"published":"2024-01-09","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Brokering File System Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-30007","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Windows Kernel Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21345","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-13"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft WDAC ODBC Driver Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21353","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Azure Local Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-55697","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-21326","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Windows Update Stack Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-26235","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Brokering File System Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-28904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-04-09"}],"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":"2025-05-03","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a Win32k vulnerability to elevate privileges on Windows Server systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-20686/"}
