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-2024-9494 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: silabs.com CP210 VCP Win 2k. 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-2024-9494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-9494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9494/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-9494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x5mc-f54f-4pwj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows driver installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges via DLL hijacking in the CP210 VCP Win 2k installer due to an uncontrolled search path.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Silabs","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"DLL hijacking vulnerabilities, caused by an uncontrolled search path in the \n\nCP210 VCP Win 2k\n\n installer can lead to privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution when running the impacted installer.","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":"Uncontrolled search path can lead to DLL hijacking in CP210 VCP Win 2k installer","id":"CVE-2024-9494","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Uncontrolled search path can lead to DLL hijacking in CP210x VCP Windows installer","id":"CVE-2024-9495"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Uncontrolled search path can lead to DLL hijacking in ToolStick installer","id":"CVE-2024-9493"},"products":["CP210 VCP Win 2k"],"published":"2025-01-24","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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-01-27","vendors":["silabs.com"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges via DLL hijacking in the CP210 VCP Win 2k installer due to an uncontrolled search path.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-9494/"}
