Summary

WinSparkle issue where registry value is not validated

Details

When an application that uses WinSparkle is launched, it checks the directory used by WinSparkle for temporary files and deletes any temporary files. This directory path is specified in a registry key. In a situation where an attacker has modified the specific registry value used by this library, and a user launches an application that uses WinSparkle, an unintended directory or file may be deleted. Takashi Yoshikawa of Mitsui Bussan Secure Directions, Inc. reported this issue to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.
