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-2025-14596 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Altera Quartus Prime Pro. 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-2025-14596/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14596/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-14596","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14596/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-14596","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5f84-6463-h54p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Quartus Prime Installer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code via search order hijacking in the Quartus Prime Pro installer on Windows.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Altera","cpe":[{"product":"quartus_prime","vendor":"intel"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element vulnerability in Altera Quartus Prime Pro \n\nInstaller (SFX) \n\non Windows allows Search Order Hijacking.This issue affects Quartus Prime Pro: from 24.1 through 24.3.1.","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":"Quartus Prime Pro Edition Installer Advisory","id":"CVE-2025-14596","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"This CVE ID has been rejected or withdrawn by its CVE Numbering Authority.","id":"CVE-2025-14597"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing Authorization in GitLab","id":"CVE-2025-14595"},"products":["Quartus Prime Pro"],"published":"2026-01-06","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2021-44454","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21174","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Standard Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21203","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21204","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"XML external entity in Intel(R) Quartus(R) Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2022-21220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition","id":"CVE-2019-14603","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Intel Quartus Prime","id":"CVE-2018-3683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-01-06","vendors":["Altera"]},"summary":"An attacker can execute arbitrary code via search order hijacking in the Quartus Prime Pro installer on Windows.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-14596/"}
