It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2025-42598 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2025-42598 is a high-severity vulnerability in SEIKO EPSON printer drivers for Windows OS, published on 28 Apr 2025. 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-2025-42598 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SEIKO EPSON printer drivers for Windows OS. 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-2025-42598/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42598/index.md)","id":"CVE-2025-42598","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2025-42598/index.md","name":"CVE-2025-42598","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-crf2-93pg-r2vp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Epson printer drivers","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges via DLL hijacking if users install drivers in non-English languages.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"Multiple SEIKO EPSON printer drivers for Windows OS are configured with an improper access permission settings when installed or used in a language other than English.
