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-2024-8885 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sophos Intercept X. 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-2024-8885/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8885/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8885","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8885/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8885","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g2wp-r2jm-2m5f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges by writing arbitrary files in Sophos Intercept X for Windows with Central Device Encryption.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Sophos","cpe":[],"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-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"},{"id":"CWE-1104","name":"Use of Unmaintained Third Party Components"}],"description":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in Sophos Intercept X for Windows with Central Device Encryption 2024.2.0 and older allows writing of arbitrary files.","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":"Privilege escalation in Sophos Intercept X","id":"CVE-2024-8885","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Authentication bypass vulnerability on CIRCUTOR Q-SMT","id":"CVE-2024-8887"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in System Monitor application in Harmony Industrial PC HMIBMO/HMIBMI/HMIPSO/HMIBMP/HMIBMU/HMIPSP/HMIPEP series","id":"CVE-2024-8884"},"products":["Sophos Intercept X"],"published":"2024-10-02","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":"2024-10-02","vendors":["Sophos"]},"summary":"A local attacker can escalate privileges by writing arbitrary files in Sophos Intercept X for Windows with Central Device Encryption.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8885/"}
