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-2025-7472 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sophos Intercept X for Windows Installer. 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-2025-7472/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7472/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-7472","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7472/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-7472","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q389-vcr6-qv93"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Endpoint security software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local user can gain system privileges if the Intercept X installer is run as SYSTEM, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Sophos","cpe":[],"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-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"A local privilege escalation vulnerability in the Intercept X for Windows installer prior version 1.22 can lead to a local user gaining system level privileges, if the installer is run as SYSTEM.","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 Sophos Intercept X for Windows Installer","id":"CVE-2025-7472","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":"XML Injection","id":"CVE-2025-7473"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"code-projects Modern Bag login-back.php sql injection","id":"CVE-2025-7471"},"products":["Sophos Intercept X for Windows Installer"],"published":"2025-07-17","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-17","vendors":["Sophos"]},"summary":"A local user can gain system privileges if the Intercept X installer is run as SYSTEM, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-7472/"}
