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-2024-38831 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: 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-2024-38831/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38831/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-38831","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38831/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-38831","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7mjq-fcrm-26pg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Aria Operations","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker with admin privileges can inject commands into a properties file to escalate privileges to root on the VMware Aria Operations appliance.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"aria_operations","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"cloud_foundation","vendor":"vmware"}],"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-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"VMware Aria Operations contains a local privilege escalation vulnerability.  A malicious actor with local administrative privileges can insert malicious commands into the properties file to escalate privileges to  a root user on the appliance running VMware Aria Operations.","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":"Local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2024-38831)","id":"CVE-2024-38831","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:cloud_foundation","products":["vmware:cloud_foundation"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Stored cross-site scripting vulnerability (CVE-2024-38832)","id":"CVE-2024-38832"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Local privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38830"},"products":["VMware Aria Operations"],"published":"2024-11-26","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Broadcom VMware Aria Operations Command Injection","id":"CVE-2026-22719","kev_date_added":"2026-03-03","published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in VCF operations","id":"CVE-2026-41722","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-08"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in VCF operations","id":"CVE-2026-41723","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-08"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in VCF operations","id":"CVE-2026-41724","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-08"},{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"VMware Aria Operations stored cross-site scripting vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-22720","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Local privilege escalation vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-38830","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-26"}],"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":"2024-11-26","vendors":["VMware"]},"summary":"A local attacker with admin privileges can inject commands into a properties file to escalate privileges to root on the VMware Aria Operations appliance.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-38831/"}
