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-2024-52561 exists.\n\nAffected product: Parallels Parallels Desktop. 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-2024-52561/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52561/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-52561","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-52561/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-52561","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h429-pw2c-7w4q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Parallels Desktop for Mac","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can escalate privileges by exploiting a symlink vulnerability in the snapshot deletion process of Parallels Desktop for Mac.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"talos","cpe":[{"product":"parallels_desktop","vendor":"parallels"}],"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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-708","name":"Incorrect Ownership Assignment"}],"description":"A privilege escalation vulnerability exists in the Snapshot functionality of Parallels Desktop for Mac version 20.1.1 (build 55740).
