It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-5803 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: AVG/Avast Antivirus. 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-2024-5803/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5803/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-5803","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5803/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-5803","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ccfh-v7cp-3943"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"AVG/Avast Antivirus","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via COM hijacking in AVG/Avast Antivirus when self-protection is disabled due to a race condition.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"NLOK","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-367","name":"Time-of-check Time-of-use (TOCTOU) Race Condition"}],"description":"The AVGUI.exe of AVG/Avast Antivirus before versions before 24.1 can allow a local attacker to escalate privileges via an COM hijack in a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) when self protection is disabled.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Local privelage escalation via COM hijacking","id":"CVE-2024-5803","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Conditional Fields for Contact Form 7 \u003c= 2.4.13 - Cross-Site Request Forgery to Plugin Setting Reset","id":"CVE-2024-5804"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"URL Shortener by MyThemeShop \u003c= 1.0.17 - Admin+ Stored XSS","id":"CVE-2024-5802"},"products":["Antivirus"],"published":"2024-10-03","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-03","vendors":["AVG/Avast"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges via COM hijacking in AVG/Avast Antivirus when self-protection is disabled due to a race condition.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-5803/"}
