MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires a local, low-privileged Windows user account on the host where Optical Disc Archive Software for Windows 5.5.3 or earlier is installed. The attacker must be able to write to the insecurely permissioned installation directory or a path searched by the privileged process (PR:L confirmed by CVSS 4.0 vector). Passive user interaction is required (UI:P), meaning a privileged context - such as a scheduled task, Windows service, or another user - must trigger execution of the vulnerable binary after the attacker has planted their payload. The CVSS 4.0 AT:P metric indicates a specific deployment condition must be present, likely the software's service or process being active. Exploitation is limited by: mandatory local access (remote network exploitation is not possible per AV:L); the need for at least a low-privileged local account; user interaction by a separate privileged context to trigger payload execution; and the AT:P condition requiring a targeted environment. Remote unauthenticated exploitation is not applicable. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 5.4 reflects the constrained exploitation path: local access (AV:L), low privileges (PR:L), passive user interaction (UI:P), and a specific attack target condition (AT:P) collectively reduce exploitability below what the high-impact triad (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) would otherwise suggest. No subsequent-system impact is claimed (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N), confining the blast radius to the host running the software. There is no CISA KEV listing and no public POC identified, which is consistent with the local access requirement limiting widespread automated exploitation. EPSS data was not provided in the input; absence of that signal is noted. The realistic threat actor is an insider or a user who has already achieved a foothold on the target Windows endpoint - not a remote unauthenticated attacker. Organizations running this software in multi-user or shared-workstation environments face higher exposure than single-user deployments. The JPCERT/CC advisory and JVN listing confirm vendor acknowledgement, which increases confidence in the validity of the finding. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A low-privileged local user on a Windows workstation running Optical Disc Archive Software identifies an insecurely permissioned installation directory writable by standard users. The attacker drops a malicious DLL or replaces a legitimate executable in that path, then waits for a privileged user or service to invoke the Optical Disc Archive process, which loads the attacker-controlled binary and executes arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, but this attack pattern (DLL hijacking / binary planting via weak directory ACLs) is well-understood and does not require specialized tooling. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Jun 16, 2026
Privilege escalation to SYSTEM in Sony Optical Disc Archive Software for Windows 5.5.3 and earlier arises from incorrect default filesystem permissions (CWE-276), enabling a local low-privileged attacker to plant or replace executable content that the software later runs with SYSTEM-level authority. Reported by JPCERT/CC and tracked under JVN#79926428, the vulnerability is classified as local with passive user interaction required (CVSS 4.0 AV:L/UI:P/AT:P), limiting opportunistic mass exploitation. No public exploit code and no CISA KEV listing have been identified at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
The primary remediation is to upgrade to a fixed version of Sony Optical Disc Archive Software for Windows once released; consult the Sony support page at https://www.sony.com/electronics/support/software/00403421 for the patched release version, which has not been independently confirmed in the available input data beyond the advisory reference. Until patching is possible, administrators should manually harden ACLs on the software's installation directories to restrict write and modify permissions to the SYSTEM account and local Administrators group only, preventing low-privileged users from replacing or inserting files. Running the software in environments where end users do not hold local accounts (e.g., domain environments with standard user accounts and no local admin rights) reduces exploitability, as does restricting who can log on interactively to hosts where the software is deployed. Note that ACL hardening may need to be reapplied after software updates that recreate permissive paths.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-276 (Incorrect Default Permissions) describes a class of flaw where a software installer or runtime creates directories, files, or registry keys with access control lists (ACLs) that grant write or modify rights to non-administrative users. In the Windows ecosystem this commonly enables DLL hijacking, binary planting, or scheduled-task/service executable replacement: a low-privileged user writes a malicious payload to the insecurely permissioned path, then waits for or triggers the privileged process to load it, achieving SYSTEM execution. The affected product is identified via CPE cpe:2.3:a:sony_corporation:optical_disc_archive_software_for_windows:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* covering versions up to and including 5.5.3 on Windows. The CVSS 4.0 vector's AT:P (Attack Target: Presence) metric signals that exploitation depends on a specific deployment condition - likely the Optical Disc Archive service or process being actively running or invoked by a privileged context.

Attack Technique
Privilege escalation occurs when an attacker leverages flaws in access control mechanisms to gain permissions beyond what they were originally granted.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
