{"cve":"CVE-2023-3899","nvd":{"published":"2023-08-23T11:15:07.573","modified":"2026-06-17T06:15:16.900","status":"Modified","description":"A vulnerability was found in subscription-manager that allows local privilege escalation due to inadequate authorization. The D-Bus interface com.redhat.RHSM1 exposes a significant number of methods to all users that could change the state of the registration. By using the com.redhat.RHSM1.Config.SetAll() method, a low-privileged local user could tamper with the state of the registration, by unregistering the system or by changing the current entitlements. This flaw allows an attacker to set arbitrary configuration directives for /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf, which can be abused to cause a local privilege escalation to an unconfined root.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","score":7.8},"cwes":["CWE-863","CWE-285"],"references":["https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4701","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4702","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4703","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4704","https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2023:4705"],"products":["fedoraproject:fedora","redhat:enterprise_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_arm_64","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_arm_64_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_power_big_endian","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_for_scientific_computing","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_aus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_for_power_little_endian_update_services_for_sap_solutions","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_tus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_update_services_for_sap_solutions","redhat:enterprise_linux_update_services_for_sap_solutions","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation","redhat:subscription-manager"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:39:14.809778102+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2023-3899","score":0.00241,"percentile":0.15291,"date":"2026-10-31"},"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).
