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-2025-8614 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NoMachine. 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-2025-8614/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8614/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-8614","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-8614/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-8614","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-42h4-gm3v-w2c4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NoMachine remote desktop","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code by exploiting an uncontrolled search path in NoMachine's OpenSSL configuration.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"zdi","cpe":[{"product":"nomachine","vendor":"nomachine"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"NoMachine Uncontrolled Search Path Element Local Privilege Escalation Vulnerability.
