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-2019-6564 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-2019-6564/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6564/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-6564","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6564/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-6564","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xrc2-5gr8-655q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GE Communicator","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A non-administrative user can place malicious files in the installer directory to gain administrative privileges during installation or upgrade.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"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 a non-administrative user to place malicious files within the installer file directory, which may allow an attacker to gain administrative privileges on a system during installation or upgrade.","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 GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6564","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6565"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in Moxa IKS, EDS","id":"CVE-2019-6563"},"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":"Path traversal in GE Communicator","id":"CVE-2019-6546","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":"A non-administrative user can place malicious files in the installer directory to gain administrative privileges during installation or upgrade.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-6564/"}
