Advisory ID: RSEC200965

CVE Identifier: CVE-2025-69599

Affected products: RayVentory Scan Engine 12.6 Update 8 and previous versions.

Description

The RayVentory Inventory Agent (rvia) was vulnerable to PATH injection and library injection attacks due to uncontrolled search paths when locating external dependencies and executables. The agent searched for executables using system PATH variables without proper validation, allowing attackers to manipulate the environment to force the execution of malicious binaries.

Technical Details

Vulnerability Type: CWE-427 (Uncontrolled Search Path Element)
Attack Vector: Local
Impact: Arbitrary Code Execution (ACE)
Mechanism: The agent called utilities (e.g., curl) using relative names. An attacker could place malicious binaries in directories within the system PATH. Additionally, the bundled curl utility created attack vectors via external binary dependencies and dynamic library search path manipulation.

Severity

Rating: Critical
CVSS Base Score: [Pending]

Remediation

Fixed Version: RayVentory Scan Engine 12.6.3800.131 Update 9 (Released Feb 4, 2026)
Changes: Implementation of absolute path resolution for all utilities and environment sanitization prior to process execution.
