An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-0238 exists.\n\nAffected product: Php Php. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0238/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0238/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0238","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0238/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0238","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r5ff-p26w-7pfj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PHP CGI script","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary files on the system via php.cgi, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized users.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"php","vendor":"php"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"php.cgi allows attackers to read any file on the system.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1997-04-16","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1997-04-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20567","stars":null,"title":"PHP PHP/fi 2.0 - Directory Traversal"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0238","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"php:php","products":["php:php"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0239"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0237"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-02-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2688","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-07-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-05-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-3268","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4143","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-21"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5557","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2050","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-05-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2051","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-05-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary files on the system via php.cgi, exposing sensitive data to unauthorized users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0238/"}
