Code Injection in Rapid7 Nexpose Installer

Published Sep 3, 2020 · Updated Aug 4, 2024 · Assigned by rapid7

Description

In Rapid7 Nexpose installer versions prior to 6.6.40, the Nexpose installer calls an executable which can be placed in the appropriate directory by an attacker with access to the local machine. This would prevent the installer from distinguishing between a valid executable called during a Security Console installation and any arbitrary code executable using the same file name.
