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-2024-40872 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Absolute Security Secure Access. 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-2024-40872/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40872/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40872","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40872/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40872","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3gx2-67xw-9fc9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Secure Access client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with valid credentials can elevate privileges to system level by manipulating process tokens in Absolute Secure Access components.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Absolute","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-822","name":"Untrusted Pointer Dereference"}],"description":"There is an elevation of privilege vulnerability in server\nand client components of Absolute Secure Access prior to version 13.07.\nAttackers with local access and valid desktop user credentials can elevate\ntheir privilege to system level by passing invalid address data to the vulnerable\ncomponent.
