Specifically, dde-api-proxy runs as root and forwards messages from arbitrary local users to legacy D-Bus methods in the actual D-Bus services, and the actual D-Bus services don't know about the proxy situation (they believe that root is asking them to do things). Consequently several proxied methods, that shouldn't be accessible to non-root users, are accessible to non-root users. In situations where Polkit is involved, the caller would be treated as admin, resulting in a similar escalation of privileges.","severity":{"version":"3.1","score":8.4,"vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","level":"high","assessor":"cna","from":"cve"},"epss":{"day":"2026-11-12","score":0.0024,"percentile":0.15296,"model":"v2026.06.15"},"facts":{"in_kev":false,"known_exploited":false,"public_exploit":false,"fix_available":false},"cwes":["CWE-940"],"published":"2025-01-24T00:00:00Z","modified":"2026-06-17T08:52:45Z","products":[{"vendor":"deepin","product":"dde-api-proxy"}],"references":[{"url":"https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1229918"},{"url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2025/01/24/3"},{"url":"https://security.opensuse.org/2025/01/24/dde-api-proxy-privilege-escalation.html"},{"url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2025-23222"},{"url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-8f27-8fr7-2363"}],"sources":{"cve":[{"id":"CVE-2025-23222","description":"An issue was discovered in Deepin dde-api-proxy through 1.0.19 in which unprivileged users can access D-Bus services as root.
