Description

In AppSpider installer versions prior to 7.2.126, the AppSpider installer calls an executable which can be placed in the appropriate directory by an attacker with access to the local machine. This would prevent the installer from distinguishing between a valid executable called during an installation and any arbitrary code executable using the same file name.

Affected products

• Rapid7 AppSpider: before 7.2.126 — fixed in 7.2.126

How to fix

Upgrade to a fixed version: Rapid7 AppSpider 7.2.126. Check the vendor advisory for mitigations.
