It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-28140 exists.\n\nAffected product: Image Access GmbH Scan2Net. 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-2024-28140/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-28140/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-28140","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-28140/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-28140","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jq63-f9q2-ph96"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Scan2Net scanner firmware","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The scanner runs its kiosk browser and other applications as root, allowing attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SEC-VLab","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:P/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"The scanner device boots into a kiosk mode by default and opens the Scan2Net interface in a browser window.
