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-2024-39613 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- mattermost-desktop (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 5.9.0\n- mattermost-desktop (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 5.9.0\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-2024-39613/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-39613/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-39613","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-39613/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-39613","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wj4j-qc2m-fgh7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mattermost Desktop App","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious cmd.exe in the user's Downloads folder due to insecure path resolution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Mattermost","cpe":[{"product":"mattermost_desktop","vendor":"mattermost"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Mattermost Desktop App versions \u003c=5.8.0 fail to specify an absolute path when searching the cmd.exe file,  which allows a local attacker who is able to put an cmd.exe file in the Downloads folder of a user's machine to cause remote code execution on that machine.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"RCE in desktop app in Windows by local attacker","id":"CVE-2024-39613","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Django vulnerable to Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2024-39614"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["5.9.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mattermost-desktop","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-wj4j-qc2m-fgh7"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["5.9.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mattermost-desktop","purl":"pkg:npm/mattermost-desktop","source":"GHSA-wj4j-qc2m-fgh7"}],"prev":{"headline":"Background Task Manager has an out-of-bounds read permission bypass vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-39612"},"products":["Mattermost"],"published":"2024-09-16","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-11064","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-19"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20856","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20861","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-19"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Arbitrary application execution via unvalidated server-controlled URLs in Help menu","id":"CVE-2026-1046","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-16"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-14456","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-19"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Posting a malicious markdown image crashes the Mattermost Desktop App","id":"CVE-2026-8075","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Overly long URLs crash the Mattermost Desktop App","id":"CVE-2026-8683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-15"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Mattermost"]},"summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious cmd.exe in the user's Downloads folder due to insecure path resolution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-39613/"}
