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-2025-22480 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery. 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-2025-22480/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22480/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-22480","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-22480/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-22480","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gf79-frwr-2v77"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local low-privileged attacker can exploit a symbolic link vulnerability to delete arbitrary files and escalate privileges in Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"supportassist_os_recovery","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery versions prior to 5.5.13.1 contain a symbolic link attack vulnerability.
