CVE-2024-25545

Local code execution via arbitrary NW.js scripts

Published Apr 12, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Arbitrary code execution in Weave Desktop 7.78.10 through 7.84.1 allows local users to run crafted JavaScript through NW.js. The bundled NW.js 92.0.4515.107 runtime accepts arbitrary JavaScript passed to the application instead of restricting executable input. On macOS, the script inherits the app's TCC permissions, including approved camera and microphone access, and can spoof Weave's code-signing identity.
