Title: Centrinity FirstClass Client Bookmark Window File Execution Vulnerability

Severity: HIGH

Description:

Centrinity FirstClass Desktop is a client application used to manage the FirstClass server.

FirstClass is reported prone to a vulnerability that may allow remote attackers to cause local arbitrary files to be executed. This issue results from an input validation error.

Specifically, the vulnerability presents itself when a remote attacker sends a specially crafted URI to a user and the user bookmarks the URI in FirstClass. An unspecified field in the FirstClass bookmark management window is not properly sanitized for user-supplied input and the URI can be passed to the Windows ShellExecute API. This can occur when the user accesses the URI subsequent to adding it as a bookmark.

This may be a serious issue if through other means the attacker can cause a malicious file to be placed on the client filesystem and later execute it.

FirstClass 8.0 is reported vulnerable to this issue.

Affected Products:

  • Centrinity FirstClass Desktop Client 8.0.0
