It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-1999-0491 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-1999-0491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0491/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0491/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fxcm-gf29-76g5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Bash shell","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary commands as another user by creating a directory with a specific name, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bash","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The prompt parsing in bash allows a local user to execute commands as another user by creating a directory with the name of the command to execute.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-04-20","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-04-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19095","stars":null,"title":"GNU GNU bash 1.14 - Path Embedded Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0491","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0492"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0490"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-06-02","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"GNU Bash OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2014-6278","kev_date_added":"2025-10-02","published":"2014-09-30"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-09-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7187","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-09-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-6277","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-09-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in bash","id":"CVE-2022-3715","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-18276","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary commands as another user by creating a directory with a specific name, leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0491/"}
