| Exploitation Conditions | The attacker must hold a valid Windows user account and be able to log in interactively to a Windows system on which SKYSEA Client View or SKYMEC IT Manager is installed - this is the PR:L boundary. The target must be a separate Windows system also running the affected product that can receive UDP packets from the attacker's host (AT:P - specific network reachability required). In typical enterprise LAN environments where these management products are deployed, inter-workstation UDP reachability is common and this condition offers limited defensive value without dedicated network segmentation. No action is required from any user on the target system (UI:N). Notably, the local vulnerable system itself is not impacted (VC:N/VI:N/VA:N) - harm is entirely inflicted on remote managed endpoints (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H), making this a lateral movement primitive rather than a local privilege escalation. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.8 reflects meaningful constraints: AT:P (specific attack requirements - the target must be UDP-reachable from the attacker's managed workstation) and PR:L (requires a valid Windows login on the source system). Despite the moderate aggregate score, the subsequent-system impact metrics are all maximal (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H), meaning successful exploitation yields full confidentiality, integrity, and availability compromise on a remote endpoint - effectively lateral RCE. In typical enterprise LAN deployments, UDP reachability between managed workstations is common and rarely filtered, making the AT:P constraint less protective than it appears on paper. The AV:N vector combined with PR:L and UI:N means any authenticated domain user at a managed workstation can potentially target other managed systems. No CISA KEV listing exists and no public exploit has been identified, keeping the immediate opportunistic threat low. However, as a bypass of a previously disclosed and patched CVE, security researchers with knowledge of CVE-2024-41726 have a concrete starting point for exploit development, which increases the medium-term risk compared to a novel flaw. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with a standard Windows domain user account on a workstation running SKYSEA Client View crafts a UDP payload embedding path traversal sequences designed to bypass the CVE-2024-41726 sanitization logic. The payload is sent to a remote Windows endpoint also running SKYSEA Client View or SKYMEC IT Manager, causing the management agent's file-handling routine to write or execute attacker-controlled content outside its intended directory. No public proof-of-concept has been identified at time of analysis, but researchers familiar with the original CVE-2024-41726 bypass technique have a documented starting point for developing a working exploit. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 25, 2026
Path traversal in SKYSEA Client View and SKYMEC IT Manager enables a locally-authenticated Windows user to execute arbitrary code on remote Windows systems running the same software via UDP communication channels. This is an incomplete-fix bypass of CVE-2024-41726, reported by JPCERT/CC, meaning the original remediation failed to neutralize all traversal variants. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, but the subsequent-system impact is maximal (SC:H/SI:H/SA:H per CVSS 4.0), indicating full lateral compromise potential within enterprise environments deploying these management agents.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch detailed in the official advisory at https://www.skyseaclientview.net/news/260824_01/. The exact fixed version number is not independently confirmed from available CPE or reference data - consult the vendor advisory directly to identify the target upgrade version before proceeding. As a compensating control pending patching, implement host-based or network firewall rules to restrict UDP traffic between managed endpoints to only authorized management server addresses, accepting the trade-off of potentially reduced peer-to-peer management functionality. Additionally, restrict interactive Windows login access on managed workstations to only authorized personnel to minimize the PR:L attack surface. Because this vulnerability is an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-41726, verify that the original CVE's patch was fully applied and confirm the new patch supersedes it rather than simply supplementing it.

The affected products - SKYSEA Client View (cpe:2.3:a:sky_co.,_ltd.:skysea_client_view:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) and SKYMEC IT Manager (cpe:2.3:a:sky_co.,_ltd.:skymec_it_manager:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) - are Windows-based IT asset and endpoint management platforms developed by Sky Co., Ltd. of Japan. CWE-25 (Path Traversal: '../filedir') identifies the root cause as insufficient sanitization of directory traversal sequences within the products' UDP-based inter-agent communication channel. Crafted traversal payloads can escape the intended file-handling directory on a remote managed host, leading to arbitrary file writes or execution in unintended locations. The explicit linkage to CVE-2024-41726 indicates the vendor's prior patch introduced a traversal filter that is bypassable through alternative encoding or path construction techniques - a classic incomplete-fix pattern in path traversal remediation.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
SKYSEA Client View and SKYMEC IT Manager contain a path traversal vulnerability. If this vulnerability is exploited, an attacker who can log in to a Windows system on which the affected product is installed may be able to execute arbitrary code on another Windows system that has the affected products installed and can receive UDP packets from that system. Note that this vulnerability is due to an incomplete fix for CVE-2024-41726.
