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-2024-4162 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Panasonic Holdings Corporation KW Watcher. 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-2024-4162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-4162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-4162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-4162/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-4162","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f8vp-w697-m42g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Panasonic KW Watcher","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A buffer error in Panasonic KW Watcher allows attackers to gain malicious read access to memory.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Panasonic_Holdings_Corporation","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"A buffer error in Panasonic KW Watcher versions 1.00 through 2.83 may allow attackers malicious read access to memory.","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":"KW Watcher Vulnerability ALlows Malicious Read Access to Memory","id":"CVE-2024-4162","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege Escalation on Skylab IIoT Gateway (IGX)","id":"CVE-2024-4163"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Syslog traffic sent in clear-text","id":"CVE-2024-4161"},"products":["KW Watcher"],"published":"2024-05-08","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"2024-08-01","vendors":["Panasonic Holdings Corporation"]},"summary":"A buffer error in Panasonic KW Watcher allows attackers to gain malicious read access to memory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-4162/"}
