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-2017-5235 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rapid7 Metasploit Pro. 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-2017-5235/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5235/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5235","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5235/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5235","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pm3h-9f72-3xp7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Metasploit Pro installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via DLL preloading when users run the Metasploit Pro 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":"metasploit","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":"Rapid7 Metasploit Pro installers prior to version 4.13.0-2017022101 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 Metasploit Pro","id":"CVE-2017-5235","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-2017-5236"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in Insight Collector","id":"CVE-2017-5234"},"products":["Metasploit Pro"],"published":"2017-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Metasploit Framework 'drb_remote_codeexec' code execution","id":"CVE-2020-7385","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-23"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Rapid7 Metasploit Framework Relative Path Traversal in telpho10_credential_dump module","id":"CVE-2020-7377","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Rapid7 Metasploit HTTP Handler Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2019-5645","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-01"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Rapid7 Metasploit Framework Zip Import Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2019-5624","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-30"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Rapid7 Metasploit Framework Relative Path Traversal in enum_osx module","id":"CVE-2020-7376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-24"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Path traversal in Metasploit","id":"CVE-2017-5228","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-02"}],"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 Metasploit Pro installer from a directory containing a malicious DLL.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5235/"}
