Unquoted Search Path or Element

An Unquoted Search Path vulnerability has been identified in the utility for Moxa’s industrial computers (Windows). Due to the unquoted path configuration in the SerialInterfaceService.exe utility, a local attacker with limited privileges could place a malicious executable in a higher-priority directory within the search path. When the Serial Interface service starts, the malicious executable could be run with SYSTEM privileges. Successful exploitation could allow privilege escalation or enable an attacker to maintain persistence on the affected system. While successful exploitation can severely impact the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected device itself, there is no loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability within any subsequent systems.Show less

Western Digital Kitfox for Windows provided by Western Digital Corporation registers a Windows service with an unquoted file path. A user with the write permission on the root directory of the system drive may execute arbitrary code with the SYSTEM privilege.Show less

The service executable path in Seagate Toolkit on Versions prior to 2.34.0.33 on Windows allows an attacker with Admin privileges to exploit a vulnerability as classified under CWE-428: Unquoted Search Path or Element. An attacker with write permissions to the root could place a malicious Program.exe file, which would execute with SYSTEM privileges.Show less

The Windows service configuration of ABP and AES contains an unquoted ImagePath registry value vulnerability. This allows a local attacker to execute arbitrary code by placing a malicious executable in a predictable location such as C:\Program.exe. If the service runs with elevated privileges, exploitation results in privilege escalation to SYSTEM level. This vulnerability arises from an unquoted service path affecting systems where the executable resides in a path containing spaces. Affected products and versions include: ABP 2.0.7.6130 and earlier as well as AES 1.0.6.6133 and earlier.Show less

A vulnerability was found in MTSoftware C-Lodop 6.6.1.1 on Windows. It has been rated as critical. This issue affects some unknown processing of the component CLodopPrintService. The manipulation leads to unquoted search path. The attack needs to be approached locally. The complexity of an attack is rather high. The exploitation is known to be difficult. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. Upgrading to version 6.6.13 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.Show less

Unquoted Search Path or Element vulnerability in OpenText™ Service Manager.  The vulnerability could allow a user to gain SYSTEM privileges through Privilege Escalation. This issue affects Service Manager: 9.70, 9.71, 9.72.Show less

Dell NetWorker, version(s) prior to 19.11.0.3, all versions of 19.10 & prior versions contain(s) an Unquoted Search Path or Element vulnerability. A low privileged attacker with local access could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to Code execution.Show less

In Electronic Arts Dragon Age Origins 1.05, the DAUpdaterSVC service contains an unquoted service path vulnerability. This service is configured with insecure permissions, allowing users to modify the executable file path used by the service. The service runs with NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM privileges, enabling attackers to escalate privileges by replacing or placing a malicious executable in the service path.Show less

A vulnerability has been found in the CPython `venv` module and CLI where path names provided when creating a virtual environment were not quoted properly, allowing the creator to inject commands into virtual environment "activation" scripts (ie "source venv/bin/activate"). This means that attacker-controlled virtual environments are able to run commands when the virtual environment is activated. Virtual environments which are not created by an attacker or which aren't activated before being used (ie "./venv/bin/python") are not affected.Show less

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Intelbras InControl up to 2.21.56. This affects an unknown part of the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Intelbras\Incontrol Cliente\incontrol_webcam\incontrol-service-watchdog.exe. The manipulation leads to unquoted search path. It is possible to launch the attack on the local host. Upgrading to version 2.21.58 is able to address this issue. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component. The vendor was informed early on 2024-08-05 about this issue. The release of a fixed version 2.21.58 was announced for the end of August 2024 but then was postponed until 2024-09-20.Show less

An unquoted search path or element vulnerability has been reported to affect QVR Smart Client. If exploited, the vulnerability could allow local authenticated administrators to execute unauthorized code or commands via unspecified vectors. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following version: Windows 10 SP1, Windows 11, Mac OS, and Mac M1: QVR Smart Client 2.4.0.0570 and laterShow less
