An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-9478 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: upKeeper Instant Privilege Access. 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-2024-9478/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9478/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-9478","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9478/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-9478","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4pm3-3999-hj74"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Privilege Access Management","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An improper privilege management flaw in upKeeper Instant Privilege Access allows attackers to escalate privileges within the application.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"upKeeper","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-266","name":"Incorrect Privilege Assignment"}],"description":"Improper Privilege Management vulnerability in upKeeper Solutions upKeeper Instant Privilege Access allows Privilege Escalation.This issue affects upKeeper Instant Privilege Access: before 1.2.","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 upKeeper Instant Privilege Access","id":"CVE-2024-9478","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":"Privilege escalation in upKeeper Instant Privilege Access","id":"CVE-2024-9479"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XSS in AirTies' Air4443 Firmware","id":"CVE-2024-9477"},"products":["upKeeper Instant Privilege Access"],"published":"2024-11-20","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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-07","vendors":["upKeeper Solutions"]},"summary":"An improper privilege management flaw in upKeeper Instant Privilege Access allows attackers to escalate privileges within the application.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9478/"}
