CVE-2018-7365
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedAll versions up to ZXCLOUD iRAI V5.01.05 of the ZTE uSmartView product are impacted by untrusted search path vulnerability, which may allow an unauthorized user to perform unauthorized operations.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThis is an untrusted search path vulnerability in ZTE uSmartView (versions up to ZXCLOUD iRAI V5.01.05). The application likely loads libraries or executables from a search path that can be influenced by an unauthorized user, potentially allowing DLL hijacking or binary planting attacks that could lead to unauthorized operations.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify if ZTE uSmartView or ZXCLOUD iRAI is installedSearch for the application in common installation directories (e.g., C:\Program Files\ZTE, C:\Program Files (x86)\ZTE) or check the Windows registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for ZTE entriesAffected if Either product is found on the system
-
Determine the installed version of ZXCLOUD iRAILocate the application executable (typically named something like irai.exe or similar) and check its file properties to view the version, or run 'wmic product where "name like '%iRAI%'" get version' if availableAffected if The version number is 5.01.05 or lower
-
Confirm uSmartView installation regardless of versionSearch for any uSmartView-related executables or check installation folders for uSmartView components; note that all versions are affected per the CVEAffected if uSmartView is present at any version
-
Verify the application is executable or configured to runCheck if the main application binary (irai.exe or uSmartView.exe) exists and has executable permissions; also check if there are any startup configurations or scheduled tasksAffected if The vulnerable application binary is present and has execute permissions
-
Assess file system permissions on application directoriesReview permissions on the installation directory and subdirectories using 'icacls <directory>' or file explorer security tab - check if non-privileged users have write access to directories in the application search pathAffected if Users with low privileges can write to directories within the application's base path or search path
The environment is affected if ZXCLOUD iRAI version 5.01.05 or lower is installed, or if uSmartView is present at any version, and the application directory permissions allow unauthorized users to inject malicious binaries into the search path.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor-supplied patch or update to ZXCLOUD iRAI V5.01.05 or later; if no patch available, review and restrict file system permissions on directories in the application search path to prevent injection of malicious binaries.
