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-2022-41796 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sony Corporation Content Transfer (for Windows). 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-2022-41796/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-41796/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-41796","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-41796/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-41796","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3fx6-2v2x-qmr9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sony Content Transfer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the Sony Content Transfer installer due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"content_transfer","vendor":"sony"}],"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 installer of Content Transfer (for Windows) Ver.1.3 and prior allows an attacker to gain privileges 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 Content Transfer (for Windows)","id":"CVE-2022-41796","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Open redirect in Lemon8 App for Android and Lemon8 App for iOS","id":"CVE-2022-41797"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in OpenImageIO","id":"CVE-2022-41794"},"products":["Content Transfer (for Windows)"],"published":"2022-10-24","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":"2025-05-07","vendors":["Sony Corporation"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the Sony Content Transfer installer due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-41796/"}
