An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-36496 exists.\n\nAffected product: Faronics WINSelect (Standard + Enterprise). 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-2024-36496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-36496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-36496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-36496/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-36496","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jm6p-8vc7-99q9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Faronics WINSelect","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can decrypt configuration files using a static key derived from a hardcoded password, exposing sensitive data and bypassing security controls.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"SEC-VLab","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"The configuration file is encrypted with a static key derived from a \nstatic five-character password which allows an attacker to decrypt this \nfile. The application hashes this five-character password with \nthe outdated and broken MD5 algorithm (no salt) and uses the first five \nbytes as the key for RC4.
