An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-3980 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SolarWinds Dameware Remote Mini Remote Client Agent Service. 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-2019-3980/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3980/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-3980","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-3980/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-3980","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9qx2-7jwx-q6pj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Remote management agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated remote attacker can upload and execute arbitrary code with Local System privileges via the smart card authentication feature.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tenable","cpe":[{"product":"dameware_mini_remote_control","vendor":"solarwinds"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-346","name":"Origin Validation Error"}],"description":"The Solarwinds Dameware Mini Remote Client agent v12.1.0.89 supports smart card authentication which can allow a user to upload an executable to be executed on the DWRCS.exe host.
