high Nessus Plugin ID 206658

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability.

Description

The version of Kingsoft WPS Office installed on the remote Windows host is at least 12.2.0.13110 and prior to 12.2.0.16412. It is, therefore, affected by an arbitrary code execution vulnerability:

- Improper path validation in promecefpluginhost.exe in Kingsoft WPS Office version ranging from 12.2.0.13110 to 12.2.0.16412 (exclusive) on Windows allows an attacker to load an arbitrary Windows library. The vulnerability was found weaponized as a single-click exploit in the form of a deceptive spreadsheet document. (CVE-2024-7262)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Kingsoft WPS Office 12.2.0.16412 or later.
