EUVD-2020-2779723.03.2020, 14:15
UPS companion software v1.05 & Prior is affected by ‘Eval Injection’ vulnerability. The software does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call e.g.”eval” in “Update Manager” class when software attempts to see if there are updates available. This results in arbitrary code execution on the machine where software is installed.

Common Weakness Enumeration
- CWE-95 - Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code ('Eval Injection')The software receives input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes code syntax before using the input in a dynamic evaluation call (e.g. "eval").
- CWE-94 - Improper Control of Generation of Code ('Code Injection')The software constructs all or part of a code segment using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the syntax or behavior of the intended code segment.
