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-2017-5232 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rapid7 Nexpose. 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-2017-5232/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5232/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5232","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5232/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5232","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xq8-3qpc-vjcv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vulnerability Management Installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via DLL preloading when users run the Nexpose installer from a directory containing a malicious DLL.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"rapid7","cpe":[{"product":"nexpose","vendor":"rapid7"}],"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":"All editions of Rapid7 Nexpose installers prior to version 6.4.24 contain a DLL preloading vulnerability, wherein it is possible for the installer to load a malicious DLL located in the current working directory of the installer.","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 Nexpose","id":"CVE-2017-5232","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Other in AppSpider Pro","id":"CVE-2017-5233"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in Metasploit","id":"CVE-2017-5231"},"products":["Nexpose"],"published":"2017-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Nexpose","id":"CVE-2017-5264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-14"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Rapid7 Nexpose Insufficient Session Management","id":"CVE-2019-5638","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-21"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Nexpose hardware appliance","id":"CVE-2017-5243","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-06"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Nexpose","id":"CVE-2017-5230","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-02"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Unquoted Path in Rapid7 Nexpose Installer","id":"CVE-2020-7382","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-03"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-02-04"}],"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":["Rapid7"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via DLL preloading when users run the Nexpose installer from a directory containing a malicious DLL.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5232/"}
