If the site is using a one-click install solution, then an attacker can infect the user's system in the same way as a drive-by download. When the user clicks the 'Install Now' button on the one-click install page, the application may load malicious code from the server via POST data. This can be exploited in two ways. On the one hand, if the application is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, an attacker can inject malicious code in the POST request to gain remote code execution on the target system. On the other hand, if the application is using a one-click install and is not vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, then an attacker can still exploit the vulnerability by sending POST data with the install_now parameter to install malicious code on the system. The main function of the application is vulnerable to this type of attack.
CVE-2022-42224
A vulnerability in the primary function of the application is present. The vulnerability allows an attacker to send a malicious GET request to the server with any parameter, including install_now. The POST request will lead to remote code execution on the victim's system.
As a result, if an attacker can exploit this vulnerability, he or she can gain full control over an affected user's system.
Vulnerability
A vulnerability exists in the application, which can allow an attacker to exploit the application with a denial-of-service (DoS) attack. The vulnerability can be exploited by sending a large amount of POST data to the application and triggering a buffer overflow. An attacker can use this vulnerability to gain remote code execution on the target system.
CVE-2022-44256
If the site uses a one-click install solution, then an attacker can infect the user's system in the same way as a drive-by download. When the user clicks the 'Install Now' button on the one-click install page, the application may load malicious code from the server via POST data. This can be exploited in two ways. On one hand, if the application is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, an attacker can inject malicious code in the POST request to gain remote code execution on the target system. On another hand, if there is no vulnerability on applications which use one-click install and are not vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, then an attacker still exploit this vulnerability by sending POST data with the install_now parameter to install malicious code on your system. The main function of your application is vulnerable to this type of attack.
Injection of code to achieve remote code execution
The vulnerability can be exploited by injecting malicious code into the POST data. The exploit relies on the server to send the POST data with the install_now parameter set to 1. This means that an attacker has to convince a victim to visit a malicious website, at which point they will be prompted by a fake warning message, followed by a fake browser update prompt window. The user will then click 'Install Now', which will result in the JavaScript accepting injections into the POST data and installing malicious code on their system.
CVE-2023-44257
If the site is using a one-click install solution, then an attacker can infect the user's system in the same way as a drive-by download. When the user clicks the 'Install Now' button on the one-click install page, the application may load malicious code from the server via POST data. This can be exploited in two ways. On the one hand, if the application is vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, an attacker can inject malicious code in the POST request to gain remote code execution on the target system. On the other hand, if the application is using a one-click install and is not vulnerable to buffer overflow attacks, then an attacker can still exploit the vulnerability by sending POST data with the install_now parameter to install malicious code on the system. The main function of this application is also vulnerable to this type of attack.
