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-2017-2233 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: The Ministry of Justice Installer of PDF Digital Signature Plugin. 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-2017-2233/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2233/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-2233","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2233/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-2233","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jq2m-jqff-vhj5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF Digital Signature Plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can gain privileges by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the PDF Digital Signature Plugin installer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"pdf_digital_signature","vendor":"moj"}],"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 Installer of PDF Digital Signature Plugin (G2.30) and earlier, distributed till June 29, 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":"Privilege escalation in Installer of PDF Digital Signature Plugin","id":"CVE-2017-2233","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Toshiba Home gateway HEM-GW16A","id":"CVE-2017-2234"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Installer of Shinseiyo Sogo Soft","id":"CVE-2017-2232"},"products":["Installer of PDF Digital Signature Plugin"],"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":["The Ministry of Justice"]},"summary":"An attacker can gain privileges by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the PDF Digital Signature Plugin installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-2233/"}
