{"cve":"CVE-2022-47632","nvd":{"published":"2023-01-27T15:15:09.303","modified":"2026-06-17T05:13:59.363","status":"Modified","description":"Razer Synapse before 3.7.0830.081906 allows privilege escalation due to an unsafe installation path, improper privilege management, and improper certificate validation. Attackers can place malicious DLLs into %PROGRAMDATA%\\Razer\\Synapse3\\Service\\bin if they do so before the service is installed and if they deny write access for the SYSTEM user. Although the service will not start if the malicious DLLs are unsigned, it suffices to use self-signed DLLs. The validity of the DLL signatures is not checked. As a result, local Windows users can abuse the Razer driver installer to obtain administrative privileges on Windows.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":6.8},"cwes":["CWE-427"],"references":["http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/170772/Razer-Synapse-3.7.0731.072516-Local-Privilege-Escalation.html","http://packetstormsecurity.com/files/174696/Razer-Synapse-Race-Condition-DLL-Hijacking.html","http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2023/Sep/6","https://syss.de","https://www.syss.de/fileadmin/dokumente/Publikationen/Advisories/SYSS-2022-047.txt"],"products":["razer:synapse"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:37:34.931465858+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-47632","score":0.00633,"percentile":0.50352,"date":"2026-11-01"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
