It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-1431 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-1999-1431/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1431/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1431","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1431/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1431","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q7hj-hx26-wwww"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Windows Appstation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Users can bypass application restrictions in Windows Appstation mode by renaming executables to allowed names, enabling unauthorized software execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"zero_administration_kit","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"ZAK in Appstation mode allows users to bypass the \"Run only allowed apps\" policy by starting Explorer from Office 97 applications (such as Word), installing software into the TEMP directory, and changing the name to that for an allowed application, such as Winword.exe.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-01-07","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-01-07","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19144","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Zero Administration Kit (ZAK) 1.0 / Office97 - Backdoor Access"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1431","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1432"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1430"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Users can bypass application restrictions in Windows Appstation mode by renaming executables to allowed names, enabling unauthorized software execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1431/"}
