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-2018-7799 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Schneider Electric Software Update (SESU), all versions prior to V2.2.0. 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-2018-7799/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7799/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-7799","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7799/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-7799","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j73h-vjrq-45gf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Schneider Electric Software Update","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the targeted system by placing a malicious DLL file in the Schneider Electric Software Update application directory.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"schneider","cpe":[{"product":"software_update_utility","vendor":"schneider-electric"}],"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-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"A DLL hijacking vulnerability exists in Schneider Electric Software Update (SESU), all versions prior to V2.2.0, which could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the targeted system when placing a specific DLL file.","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":"Code injection in Schneider Electric Software Update (SESU), all versions prior to V2.2.0","id":"CVE-2018-7799","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in EVLink Parking v3.2.0-12 v1 and earlier","id":"CVE-2018-7800"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in Modicon M221, All Versions","id":"CVE-2018-7798"},"products":["Schneider Electric Software Update (SESU), all versions prior to V2.2.0"],"published":"2018-11-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0655","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-21"},{"cvss_score":4.7,"headline":"Open redirect in Schneider Electric Software Update (SESU) V2.4.0 and prior.","id":"CVE-2020-7520","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-23"}],"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":["Schneider Electric SE"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code on the targeted system by placing a malicious DLL file in the Schneider Electric Software Update application directory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7799/"}
