CVE-2018-25244: Eco Search 1.0.2.0 Denial of Service

Eco Search 1.0.2.0 contains a denial of service vulnerability that allows local attackers to crash the application by submitting an excessively long string to the search functionality. Attackers can paste a buffer of 950 or more characters into the search bar and trigger a crash by initiating a search operation.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

Eco Search 1.0.2.0 can be crashed by a local user through an overly long search entry. This is an availability issue, not a reported data theft or remote takeover issue. Business urgency is highest where this app is required for daily operations or deployed on shared systems.

Executive priority

Treat as a moderate-priority endpoint availability issue. Prioritize remediation if Eco Search is widely deployed, business-critical, or used on shared workstations. It does not currently warrant emergency response absent evidence of active exploitation or broader impact.

Technical view

The vulnerability affects EcoSearch Eco Search version 1.0.2.0. The CVE describes a local denial-of-service condition in the search functionality caused by excessive input length. CVSS 4.0 score is 6.9, with high vulnerable-system availability impact and no confidentiality or integrity impact reported.

Likely exposure

Exposure appears limited to endpoints where Eco Search 1.0.2.0 is installed and accessible to a local user. No network-facing attack path is described in the provided sources.

Exploitation context

A public Exploit-DB reference exists, but the source bundle does not show known active exploitation and the CVE is not marked KEV. The described impact is application crash, requiring local interaction with the application.

Researcher notes

The record cites CWE-1312, though the described behavior is an input-length crash in search handling. Sources do not name a patch, fixed version, or vendor workaround. Avoid assuming remote exploitability, privilege impact, or data exposure beyond the published denial-of-service claim.

Mitigation direction

  • Inventory systems for Eco Search 1.0.2.0 installations.
  • Check the Microsoft Store and vendor guidance for updates or replacement versions.
  • Remove the application where it is not business-required.
  • Limit use to trusted local users on shared systems.

Validation and detection

  • Confirm whether Eco Search 1.0.2.0 is installed on managed endpoints.
  • Review crash reports for Eco Search around search activity.
  • In a controlled lab, verify whether oversized search input causes application failure.
  • Document affected business workflows and user populations.
