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-2025-48982 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-48982 is a high-severity vulnerability in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows, published on 30 Oct 2025. 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-2025-48982 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows. 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-2025-48982/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48982/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-48982","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48982/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-48982","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wv6c-g43h-2hgj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Veeam Backup Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges if an administrator restores a malicious file using Veeam Agent for Windows.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"veeam_agent_for_windows","vendor":"veeam"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"This vulnerability in Veeam Agent for Microsoft Windows allows for Local Privilege Escalation if a system administrator is tricked into restoring a malicious file.","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 Agent for Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2025-48982","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Backup and Replication","id":"CVE-2025-48983"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in CGM MEDICO","id":"CVE-2025-48981"},"products":["Agent for Microsoft Windows"],"published":"2025-10-30","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Agent for Windows","id":"CVE-2024-29853","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-05-22"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Other in Agent for Windows","id":"CVE-2024-45207","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-04"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"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":"2026-02-26","vendors":["Veeam"]},"summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges if an administrator restores a malicious file using Veeam Agent for Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-48982/"}
