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-1999-0492 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-1999-0492/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0492/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0492","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0492/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0492","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-43gm-x67w-cjp4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Finger daemon","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can identify users on the target system by analyzing responses from the ffingerd service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[],"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":"The ffingerd 1.19 allows remote attackers to identify users on the target system based on its responses.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"1999-08-23","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"1999-08-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20327","stars":null,"title":"GNU Ffingerd 1.19 - 'Username' Validity Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0492","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0493"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0491"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-02-04","related":[],"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":"Remote attackers can identify users on the target system by analyzing responses from the ffingerd service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0492/"}
