NEC WebSAM WinShare versions 7.2.0-7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0-7.7.2 on Windows contain an input validation flaw that allows a remote unauthenti

Overview

NEC WebSAM WinShare versions 7.2.0-7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0-7.7.2 on Windows contain an input validation flaw that allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to send a crafted packet and execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges. The vulnerability can compromise the entire host and expose sensitive data. It affects organizations using these WinShare versions.

Description

Improper Input Validation in the network communication processing in NEC Corporation WebSAM WinShare Ver 7.2.0 through 7.5.0, Ver 7.6.0 and Ver 7.7.0 through 7.7.2 on Windows allows a remote unauthenticated attacker to execute arbitrary commands with SYSTEM privileges via a crafted network packet sent to the computer on which WinShare is running.

Impact

Confidentiality: attacker can read or modify any data on the host. Integrity: attacker can alter system files or configurations. Availability: attacker can disrupt services by executing arbitrary commands. The primary impact is on systems running the vulnerable WinShare versions, potentially exposing sensitive data and allowing full system compromise.

Remediation

Apply the vendor-supplied patch for WinShare 7.2.0-7.5.0, 7.6.0, and 7.7.0-7.7.2. If a patch is not yet available, block inbound traffic to the WinShare service using firewall rules or isolate the host. Verify the patch by checking the installed version and testing the service after update.

Risk context

The vulnerability has a critical severity rating of 9.8 and CVSS v4 score of 9.3, indicating a high risk of exploitation. No EPSS data is available, but the lack of authentication requirement and SYSTEM privilege escalation make it a top priority for immediate remediation.
