Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: UiPath Assistant version 21.4.4

Description: The issue allows an attacker to execute code on a victim's machine or capture NTLM credentials by supplying a networked or WebDAV file path to the --dev-widget argument of the URI handler for uipath-assistant://. This enables the loading and execution of attacker-controlled data.

Recommendations: For UiPath Assistant version 21.4.4, as a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the --dev-widget argument of the URI handler for uipath-assistant:// to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
