CVE-2020-7381

MEDIUM

Rapid7 Nexpose < 6.6.40 - Unauthenticated Code Execution via Executable Spoofing

Title source: llm
STIX 2.1

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.
