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-2025-43991 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell SupportAssist for Business PCs. 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-2025-43991/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43991/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-43991","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-43991/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-43991","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6xc8-63f8-5g3w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell SupportAssist","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local low-privileged attacker can exploit a symlink vulnerability in Dell SupportAssist to delete arbitrary files on the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"supportassist_for_business_pcs","vendor":"dell"},{"product":"supportassist_for_home_pcs","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":6.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-61","name":"UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) Following"}],"description":"SupportAssist for Home PCs versions 4.8.2 and prior and SupportAssist for Business PCs versions 4.5.3 and prior, contain an UNIX Symbolic Link (Symlink) following vulnerability.
