VAR-201706-0423
Vulnerability from variot - Updated: 2025-04-20 23:35Untrusted search path vulnerability in the installer of Tera Term 4.94 and earlier allows an attacker to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory. Eili Masami of Tachibana Lab. reported this vulnerability to IPA. JPCERT/CC coordinated with the developer under Information Security Early Warning Partnership.Arbitrary code may be executed with the privilege of the user invoking the installer. TeraTerm is a terminal emulator that supports serial port, telnet and SSH connections. Installer is one of the installers. An attacker could exploit the vulnerability with a malicious DLL in the directory to gain access. Tera Term Installer is prone to a remote code-execution vulnerability. A remote attacker can leverage this issue to execute arbitrary code in the context of the affected application. Tera Term Installer 4.94 and prior versions are vulnerable

The MITRE ATT&CK techniques below are AI-generated suggestions, inferred from the description of the
vulnerability by the CIRCL/vulnerability-attack-technique-classification-roberta-base
model, served locally by ML-Gateway.
They have not been verified by an analyst and are provided for guidance only.
The approach is described in our paper Mapping CVEs to MITRE ATT&CK Techniques: A Curated Gold-Set Classifier and the Limits of LLM-Assisted Label Expansion.
