Descriptions

In Rapid7 Nexpose installer versions prior to 6.6.40, the Nexpose 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 a Security Console installation and any arbitrary code executable using the same file name.

En el instalador de Rapid7 Nexpose versiones anteriores a 6.6.40, el instalador de Nexpose llama un ejecutable que puede ser colocado por un atacante en el directorio apropiado con acceso a la máquina local. Esto impediría que el instalador distinga entre un ejecutable válido llamado durante una instalación de Security Console y cualquier código arbitrario ejecutable usando el mismo nombre de archivo
