CVE-2018-16545
Kaizen Asset Manager (Enterprise Edition) and Training Manager (Enterprise Edition) allow a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution via file impersonation.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.70%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Kaizen Asset Manager (Enterprise Edition) and Training Manager (Enterprise Edition) allow a remote attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution via file impersonation. For example, a malicious dynamic-link library (dll) assumed the identity of a temporary (tmp) file (isxdl.dll) and an executable file assumed the identity of a temporary file (996E.temp).
