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-2018-0599 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows. 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-2018-0599/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0599/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-0599","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0599/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-0599","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9j3g-hqcp-qg7g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Visual C++ Redistributable","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can gain privileges by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the Visual C++ Redistributable installer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"windows","vendor":"microsoft"}],"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 Visual C++ Redistributable 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 The installer of Visual C++ Redistributable","id":"CVE-2018-0599","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows","products":["microsoft:windows"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in the installer of PlayMemories Home for Windows","id":"CVE-2018-0600"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Self-extracting archive files created by IExpress bundled with Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2018-0598"},"products":["The installer of Visual C++ Redistributable"],"published":"2018-06-26","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4716","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-21"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3139","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4037","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-12"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-4796","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Windows Print Spooler Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-36958","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-12"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Self-extracting archive files created by IExpress bundled with Microsoft Windows","id":"CVE-2018-0598","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-26"}],"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":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"An attacker can gain privileges by placing a malicious DLL in a directory searched by the Visual C++ Redistributable installer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0599/"}
