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-2025-4971 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Broadcom Automic Automation. 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-2025-4971/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4971/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-4971","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4971/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-4971","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7hj6-h929-jq92"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Automation Agent","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Low-privileged users with execution rights can escalate privileges in Broadcom Automic Automation Agent Unix.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ca","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:L/SI:L/SA:L","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"Broadcom Automic\nAutomation Agent Unix versions \u003c\n24.3.0 HF4 and \u003c 21.0.13 HF1 allow low privileged users who have execution\nrights on the agent executable to escalate their privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2025-05-29","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-05-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"52309","stars":null,"title":"Automic Agent 24.3.0 HF4 - Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Broadcom Automic Automation Agent Unix privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2025-4971","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Incorrect Authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2025-4972"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"BSK PDF Manager \u003c= 3.7.1 - Authenticated (Administrator+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via SVG File Upload","id":"CVE-2025-4970"},"products":["Automic Automation"],"published":"2025-05-19","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-05-20","vendors":["Broadcom"]},"summary":"Low-privileged users with execution rights can escalate privileges in Broadcom Automic Automation Agent Unix.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-4971/"}
