An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2025-30248 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Western Digital WD Discovery. 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-2025-30248/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-30248/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-30248","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-30248/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-30248","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5899-4rc7-89rh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WD Discovery installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious DLL in the WD Discovery installer's search path.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"WDC PSIRT","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.9,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:H/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"DLL hijacking in the WD Discovery Installer in Western Digital WD Discovery 5.2.730 on Windows allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code via placement of a crafted dll in the installer's search path.","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":"Other in WD Discovery","id":"CVE-2025-30248","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2025"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Growatt Cloud portal Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key","id":"CVE-2025-30254"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in My Cloud","id":"CVE-2025-30247"},"products":["WD Discovery"],"published":"2026-01-26","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":"2026-01-27","vendors":["Western Digital"]},"summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious DLL in the WD Discovery installer's search path.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-30248/"}
