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 · unedited
Incorrect privilege assignment vulnerability exists in SKYSEA Client View Ver.6.010.06 to Ver.19.210.04e. If a user who can log in to the PC where the product's Windows client is installed places a specially crafted DLL file in a specific folder, arbitrary code may be executed with SYSTEM privilege.

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 · high confidence

This is a local DLL hijacking/planting vulnerability in SKYSEA Client View Windows client versions 6.010.06 through 19.210.04e. An authenticated local user can place a malicious DLL in a specific folder where the application loads DLLs from, causing arbitrary code execution with elevated SYSTEM privileges. This represents a privilege escalation from standard user to SYSTEM.

MitigationApply the vendor-supplied patch/updated version when released. Until then, restrict physical and terminal access to machines with this software to trusted users only, and monitor for unauthorized DLL files in application directories.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Verify SKYSEA Client View is installed
    Check Windows installed programs list or registry under HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall for an entry containing 'SKYSEA' or 'Skysea'. The typical install location is C:\Program Files\SKYSEA\ or C:\Program Files (x86)\SKYSEA\.
    Affected if The software is present on the system
  2. Determine the installed version number
    Right-click the main SKYSEA executable (commonly SkyGroup.exe, SKYSEA.exe, or ClientView.exe in the installation folder) and select Properties, then view the Details tab for the Version field. Alternatively, check the Version value in the Uninstall registry entry.
    Affected if The version is 6.010.06 or higher but lower than 19.300.09h (vulnerable range is 6.010.06 through 19.210.04e)
  3. Inspect application directories for unauthorized DLLs
    Search the SKYSEA installation folder for DLL files that were added after installation or appear suspicious. Compare the DLL count and names against a known-good baseline or recent file modification timestamps.
    Affected if Unexpected DLL files exist in the application directory, especially those with recent modification dates or unknown origins
  4. Verify the DLL search path vulnerability
    Identify which folder the application loads DLLs from by monitoring process activity or checking if the installation directory is writable by standard users. The vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to place a malicious DLL in this folder.
    Affected if Standard users have write access to directories from which SKYSEA loads DLLs, enabling DLL hijacking

A system is affected if SKYSEA Client View version 6.010.06 through 19.210.04e (or any version below 19.300.09h) is installed and runs with DLLs loadable from a user-writable directory.

Recommended fix High confidence

19.300.09h or later

  1. Obtain the fixed version (19.300.09h or later) from the official Skysea Client View vendor website or authorized distribution channel
  2. Review the official upgrade documentation provided by Skysea for version 19.300.09h
  3. Test the upgrade in a non-production environment before deploying to production systems
  4. Create a full backup of the current Skysea Client View configuration and database
  5. Stop the Skysea Client View Windows client service before applying the upgrade
  6. Run the installer for version 19.300.09h or later on each affected Windows client
  7. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the installed version number
  8. Restart the Windows client service and verify normal operation
Caveat Review vendor release notes for any configuration or feature changes between your current version and 19.300.09h before upgrading
