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-2024-22169 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Western Digital WD Discovery. 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-2024-22169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-22169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-22169/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-22169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cqcg-4g39-cjvj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WD Discovery","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A misconfiguration in WD Discovery allows malicious applications to execute code via the ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE environment variable.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WDC PSIRT","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:P/VC:N/VI:H/VA:N/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"WD Discovery\nversions prior to 5.0.589 contain a misconfiguration in the Node.js environment\nsettings that could allow code execution by utilizing the 'ELECTRON_RUN_AS_NODE' environment variable.\nAny malicious application operating with standard user permissions can exploit\nthis vulnerability, enabling code execution within WD Discovery application's\ncontext.
