Description
Uncontrolled search path for some Approximate Bayesian Inference Framework before version on commit #484c949 within Ring 3: User Applications may allow an escalation of privilege. Unprivileged software adversary with a privileged user combined with a low complexity attack may enable escalation of privilege. This result may potentially occur via local access when attack requirements are present without special internal knowledge and requires passive user interaction. The potential vulnerability may impact the confidentiality (high), integrity (high) and availability (high) of the vulnerable system, resulting in subsequent system confidentiality (none), integrity (none) and availability (none) impacts.

AI Analysis

Impact

The vulnerability allows unprivileged software running on a system where a privileged user exists to achieve privilege escalation through an uncontrolled search path. This flaw can compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system. The described attack requires low complexity conditions and may proceed with passive user interaction, but no special internal knowledge is needed. The impact is severe, providing the attacker full control over the system, thereby threatening all three security objectives.

Affected Systems

Approximate Bayesian Inference Framework versions prior to the repository commit identified as 484c949. No specific product or vendor versions are listed in the CVE data, so any build of the framework before this commit is considered vulnerable.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.4 indicates a moderate severity overall, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests a very low probability of exploitation in the wild. The flaw is not currently listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. The attack is likely delivered locally, requiring a privileged user account and minimal attack complexity. Because the exploit path relies on local conditions, the risk to remote systems without access is limited, but systems where both privileged and unprivileged users coexist are at higher risk.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the Approximate Bayesian Inference Framework to a release that includes the commit fixing the search path issue.
  • Ensure that any environment variable such as PATH does not include directories that could be manipulated by untrusted code.
  • Limit the privileges of local users so that unprivileged software cannot exploit the path resolution flaw to gain elevated rights.
