Infotecs · Vipnet Coordinator · CVE-2017-9606
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
ViPNet Client versions prior to 4.3.2-42442
ViPNet Coordinator versions prior to 4.3.2-42442
**Description**
The issue is related to insufficient access control to the update folder and a lack of integrity and authenticity checks for update files. This can allow a local attacker to create a malicious update file containing arbitrary code, place it in the update folder, and then execute it with system or administrator privileges.
**Recommendations**
For ViPNet Client versions prior to 4.3.2-42442, update to version 4.3.2-42442 or later.
For ViPNet Coordinator versions prior to 4.3.2-42442, update to version 4.3.2-42442 or later.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the update folder to minimize the risk of exploitation.
