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-2025-68921 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2025-68921/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68921/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-68921","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68921/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-68921","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8hrf-p5w5-v34x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Audio software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can exploit a directory traversal vulnerability in SteelSeries Nahimic 3 to read or modify arbitrary files on the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"nahimic","vendor":"steelseries"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"SteelSeries Nahimic 3 1.10.7 allows Directory traversal.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2026-01-12","github_poc":4,"max_poc_stars":62,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2026-01-12T09:03:29Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/ZeroMemoryEx/CVE-2025-68921","stars":62,"title":"Local Privilege Escalation Affecting Millions of Gaming Laptops"},{"date":"2026-01-24T21:00:41Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kikiuuw/CVE-2025-68921","stars":0,"title":"🔍 Identify and understand the local privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-68921) in Nahimic audio software, impacting many gaming laptops."},{"date":"2026-01-25T17:02:49Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kikiuuw/kikiuuw.github.io","stars":0,"title":"🔍 Explore the CVE-2025-68921 vulnerability in Nahimic, enabling local privilege escalation to `NT AUTHORITY\\SYSTEM`."},{"date":"2026-02-06T08:27:38Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/kalibb/CVE-2025-68921","stars":0,"title":null}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-68921","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"OpenOps before 0.6.11 allows remote code execution in the Terraform block.","id":"CVE-2025-68922"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in C-Kermit","id":"CVE-2025-68920"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2026-01-16","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can exploit a directory traversal vulnerability in SteelSeries Nahimic 3 to read or modify arbitrary files on the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-68921/"}
