Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-55968 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2024-55968/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55968/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-55968","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55968/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-55968","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3626-w2c4-wvvc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS security agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to root on macOS by exploiting missing client validation in the DTEX Forwarder XPC service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-267","name":"Privilege Defined With Unsafe Actions"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in DTEX DEC-M (DTEX Forwarder) 6.1.1. The com.dtexsystems.helper service, responsible for handling privileged operations within the macOS DTEX Event Forwarder agent, fails to implement critical client validation during XPC interprocess communication (IPC). Specifically, the service does not verify the code requirements, entitlements, security flags, or version of any client attempting to establish a connection. This lack of proper logic validation allows malicious actors to exploit the service's methods via unauthorized client connections, and escalate privileges to root by abusing the DTConnectionHelperProtocol protocol's submitQuery method over an unauthorized XPC connection.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2024-12-17","github_poc":2,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2024-12-17T21:07:59Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Wi1DN00B/CVE-2024-55968","stars":2,"title":"Exploit POC Code for CVE-2024-55968"},{"date":"2024-12-17T21:08:11Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/null-event/CVE-2024-55968","stars":1,"title":"POC for DTEX LPE (CVE-2024-55968)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-55968","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-55969"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-55965"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2025-01-28","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-03-24","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges to root on macOS by exploiting missing client validation in the DTEX Forwarder XPC service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-55968/"}
