Vendor Opinion
JPCERT/CC Addendum
During the meeting of Committee for authorizing the disclosure of unresolved vulnerabilities held on December 5, 2017, it was judged that an advisory for this vulnerability shall be disclosed since all the criteria and conditions described below which are stated in Standards for Handling Vulnerability related Information of Software Products and Others and Information Security Early Warning Partnership Guideline have been satisfied.
- The developer of the product is unreachable
JPCERT/CC had tried to reach the developer for a period of time (more than 6 months) however there were no responses from the developer. Therefore the committee reached the conclusion that it is reasonable and appropriate to judge the developer is unreachable.
- No response to 6 separate emails (sent from August 05, 2013 to September 02, 2014)
- No response to disclosure of the developer’s name (listed on September 26, 2014) and product name and its version (listed on December 19, 2014) in “List of unreachable developers” page on JVN.
- No response to Announcement of screening procedure for vulnerability disclosure (sent on November 6, 2017)
- Existence of vulnerability has been verified
It was verified that the product contains an arbitrary OS command injection vulnerability by IPA. An arbitrary OS command injection on the server where the affected product is running was confirmed which violates the "Confidentiality", "Integrity", and "Availability"of the product. For verification details, refer to the “Verification” section.
- Not disclosing this case may result in the risk that product users will have no means to know of the existence of the vulnerability in the product
By checking the developer’s website, it is assumed that users are permitted to copy, revise, or distribute the product, and it is downloadable via internet. Therefore, the developer cannot directly contact all users of this product to notify of the OS command injection vulnerability. It was determined that disclosure of this vulnerability is legitimate under these conditions.
- There are no particular reasons that would make disclosure inappropriate
After considering the developer’s stance and the risk to product users, the committee has judged that there are no particular reasons that would make disclosure inappropriate or that disclosure may cause any other issues.
