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-2024-4163 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Skylab IIoT Gateway (IGX). 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-2024-4163/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-4163/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-4163","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-4163/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-4163","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pq98-px5v-5jjc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IIoT Gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to root via a limited shell, gaining full control of the Skylab IIoT Gateway.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GovTech CSG","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"}],"description":"The Skylab IGX IIoT Gateway allowed users to connect to it via a limited shell terminal (IGX). However, it was discovered that the process was running under root privileges.

By replacing the /etc/passwd file with a new root user entry, the attacker was able to breakout from the limited shell and login to a unrestricted shell with root access.
