### Impact Windows-Only: The NSIS installer makes a system call to open cmd.exe via NSExec in the `.nsh` installer script. NSExec by default searches the current directory of where the installer is located before searching `PATH`. This means that if an attacker can place a malicious executable file named cmd.exe in the same folder as the installer, the installer will run the malicious file. ### Patches Fixed in https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder/pull/8059 ### Workarounds None, it executes at the installer-level before the app is present on the system, so there's no way to check if it exists in a current installer. ### References https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/426.html https://cwe.mitre.org/data/definitions/427

### Summary Security misconfiguration in edit configuration file API in dashboard component of ESPHome version 2023.12.9 (command line installation) allows authenticated remote attackers to read and write arbitrary files under the configuration directory rendering remote code execution possible. ### Details It is possible to abuse this path traversal vulnerability both in command line installation and Home Assistant add-on, but it is possible to read and write files only under the configuration directory. The vulnerability is present and exploitable in the command line installation, but it was not possible to confirm an impact in the home assistant add-on version. ### PoC <img width="482" alt="/edit?configuration=/config/.esphome/esphome.json" src="https://github.com/esphome/esphome/assets/115887876/d2da3180-976e-4bed-b4b9-35ac960a7fb4"> <br/> <img width="344" alt="/edit?configuration=/config/.esphome/build/test01/src/main.cpp (firmware for board named test01)" src="https://github...
