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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-2231 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan The installer of MLIT DenshiSeikabutsuSakuseiShienKensa system. 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-2017-2231/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2231/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-2231","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2231/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-2231","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w222-jq9r-prxf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MLIT installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can gain privileges by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the MLIT installer due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"denshiseikabutsusakuseishienkensa","vendor":"mlit"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in The installer of MLIT DenshiSeikabutsuSakuseiShienKensa system Ver3.02 and earlier, distributed till June 20, 2017, The self-extracting archive including the installer of MLIT DenshiSeikabutsuSakuseiShienKensa system Ver3.02 and earlier, distributed till June 20, 2017 allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Other in The installer of MLIT DenshiSeikabutsuSakuseiShienKensa system","id":"CVE-2017-2231","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Installer of Shinseiyo Sogo Soft","id":"CVE-2017-2232"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in Douro Kouji Kanseizutou Check Program","id":"CVE-2017-2230"},"products":["The installer of MLIT DenshiSeikabutsuSakuseiShienKensa system","The self-extracting archive including the installer of MLIT DenshiSeikabutsuSakuseiShienKensa system"],"published":"2017-07-07","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, Japan"]},"summary":"An attacker can gain privileges by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the MLIT installer due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2231/"}
