2DescriptionCVE.org
NetShareWatcher 1.5.8.0 contains a structured exception handler buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying malicious input. Attackers can craft a payload with overwritten SEH and NSEH pointers through the Restrictions custom filter field to trigger code execution when the Find function is invoked.
AnalysisAI
NetShareWatcher 1.5.8.0 contains a structured exception handler buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying malicious input. Rated high severity (CVSS 8.6), this vulnerability is no authentication required, low attack complexity. Public exploit code available and no vendor patch available.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability is classified as Buffer Copy without Size Check (CWE-120), which allows attackers to overflow a buffer to corrupt adjacent memory. NetShareWatcher 1.5.8.0 contains a structured exception handler buffer overflow vulnerability that allows local attackers to execute arbitrary code by supplying malicious input. Attackers can craft a payload with overwritten SEH and NSEH pointers through the Restrictions custom filter field to trigger code execution when the Find function is invoked. Affected products include: Nsauditor Netsharewatcher.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch is available at time of analysis. Monitor vendor advisories for updates. Always validate buffer sizes before copy operations. Use bounded functions (strncpy, snprintf). Enable compiler protections.
