It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-46685 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-46685 is a high-severity vulnerability in Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery, published on 13 Jan 2026. 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-2025-46685 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-2025-46685/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46685/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-46685","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-46685/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-46685","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9rrv-w2q8-6fwm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"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 insecure temporary file permissions in Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery to elevate privileges.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"supportassist_os_recovery","vendor":"dell"}],"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-378","name":"Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions"}],"description":"Dell SupportAssist OS Recovery, versions prior to 5.5.15.1, contain a Creation of Temporary File With Insecure Permissions vulnerability.
