Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-38818 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: VMware NSX, VMware Cloud Foundation. 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-2024-38818/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38818/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38818","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38818/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38818","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gq89-59qv-xpr2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware NSX","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit a local privilege escalation flaw in VMware NSX to gain unauthorized permissions from a different group role.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"VMware NSX contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability. \n\nAn authenticated malicious actor may exploit this vulnerability to obtain permissions from a separate group role than previously assigned.","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 VMware NSX, VMware Cloud Foundation","id":"CVE-2024-38818","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":"Spring Framework Path Traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38819"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in VMware NSX, VMware Cloud Foundation","id":"CVE-2024-38817"},"products":["VMware NSX, VMware Cloud Foundation"],"published":"2024-10-09","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2024-10-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An authenticated attacker can exploit a local privilege escalation flaw in VMware NSX to gain unauthorized permissions from a different group role.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38818/"}
