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-2021-20722 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: FUJITSU LIMITED and PFU LIMITED The installers of ScanSnap Manager and the Software Download Installer. 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-2021-20722/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20722/index.md)","id":"CVE-2021-20722","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20722/index.md","name":"CVE-2021-20722","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-39vj-pmcw-jg9x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ScanSnap Manager installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code and gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the ScanSnap Manager installer due to an untrusted search path.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"scansnap_manager","vendor":"fujitsu"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installers of ScanSnap Manager prior to versions V7.0L20 and the Software Download Installer prior to WinSSInst2JP.exe and WinSSInst2iX1500JP.exe allows an attacker to gain privileges and execute arbitrary code with the privilege of the user invoking the installer 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 installers of ScanSnap Manager and the Software Download Installer","id":"CVE-2021-20722","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2021"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in [MailForm01] free edition","id":"CVE-2021-20723"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in KonaWiki2","id":"CVE-2021-20721"},"products":["The installers of ScanSnap Manager and the Software Download Installer"],"published":"2021-05-24","related":[],"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":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-07","vendors":["FUJITSU LIMITED and PFU LIMITED"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code and gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the ScanSnap Manager installer due to an untrusted search path.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2021-20722/"}
