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-2024-5290 exists.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ltd. wpa_supplicant. 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-2024-5290/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5290/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-5290","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5290/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-5290","record":{"aliases":["BELL-CVE-2024-5290","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-5290","DSA-5739-1","GHSA-c2m5-cmpw-rjcx","OESA-2024-2142","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-5290","USN-6945-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux network daemon","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local unprivileged attackers can escalate privileges to root by loading arbitrary shared objects via wpa_supplicant on Ubuntu systems.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"wpa_supplicant","vendor":"w1.fi"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in Ubuntu wpa_supplicant that resulted in loading of arbitrary shared objects, which allows a local unprivileged attacker to escalate privileges to the user that wpa_supplicant runs as (usually root).\n\nMembership in the netdev group or access to the dbus interface of wpa_supplicant allow an unprivileged user to specify an arbitrary path to a module to be loaded by the wpa_supplicant process; other escalation paths might exist.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Privilege escalation in wpa supplicant","id":"CVE-2024-5290","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"D-Link DIR-2150 GetDeviceSettings Target Command Injection Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-5291"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Kadence Blocks — Page Builder Toolkit for Gutenberg Editor","id":"CVE-2024-5289"},"products":["wpa_supplicant"],"published":"2024-08-07","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0210","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-28"}],"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":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-18","vendors":["Canonical Ltd."]},"summary":"Local unprivileged attackers can escalate privileges to root by loading arbitrary shared objects via wpa_supplicant on Ubuntu systems.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5290/"}
