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-2019-6546 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: GE Communicator. 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-2019-6546/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6546/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6546","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6546/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6546","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9hx4-972h-83x2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GE Communicator","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can place malicious files in the working directory to manipulate UI elements, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"ge_communicator","vendor":"ge"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"GE Communicator, all versions prior to 4.0.517, allows an attacker to place malicious files within the working directory of the program, which may allow an attacker to manipulate widgets and UI elements.","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":"Path traversal in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6546","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Delta Industrial Automation CNCSoft","id":"CVE-2019-6547"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in AVEVA Software, LLC InduSoft Web Studio prior to Version 8.1 SP3 and InTouch Edge HMI (formerly InTouch Machine Edition) prior to Version 2017 Update","id":"CVE-2019-6545"},"products":["GE Communicator"],"published":"2019-05-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6548","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6564","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6566","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-09"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2017-7908","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-02"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-09"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can place malicious files in the working directory to manipulate UI elements, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6546/"}
