CVE-2023-29059 tracks a software supply chain compromise of the 3CX DesktopApp in which legitimate, digitally signed Windows and macOS Electron builds were distributed with embedded malicious code. Affected Windows versions were 18.12.407 and 18.12.416, and affected macOS versions were 18.11.1213, 18.12.402, 18.12.407, and 18.12.416. The malicious functionality was introduced through altered bundled libraries within the application package. On Windows, a benign application executable loaded a trojanized multimedia library that in turn decrypted and reflectively loaded additional code from another bundled library, then retrieved attacker-controlled command-and-control information and downloaded follow-on payloads. On macOS, a trojanized multimedia library implemented analogous malicious logic with platform-specific command-and-control handling. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-506 because the trusted software package itself contained embedded malicious code rather than an accidental implementation flaw.
