It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-28916 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Xbox Gaming Services. 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-2024-28916/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-28916/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-28916","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-28916/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-28916","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r65q-qpw9-v3qf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Xbox Gaming Services","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a symlink vulnerability in Xbox Gaming Services to gain elevated privileges on the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"xbox_gaming_services","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"Xbox Gaming Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Xbox Gaming Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-28916","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Azure Arc-enabled Kubernetes Extension Cluster-Scope Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-28917"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Microsoft OLE DB Driver for SQL Server Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-28915"},"products":["Xbox Gaming Services"],"published":"2024-03-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Xbox Gaming Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-58611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Xbox Gaming Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-59281","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Xbox Gaming Services Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-55245","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-09"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Xbox Certification Bug Copilot Djando Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-55242","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-04"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-03","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a symlink vulnerability in Xbox Gaming Services to gain elevated privileges on the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-28916/"}
