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-1999-0555/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0555/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0555","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0555/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0555","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-68gv-9r74-xmm7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"configuration_change","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"unknown","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Unix operating system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A Unix account with a non-root name assigned UID 0 grants root privileges, allowing privilege escalation if such misconfiguration exists.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"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":"A Unix account with a name other than \"root\" has UID 0, i.e. root privileges.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0555","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0556"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0554"},"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A Unix account with a non-root name assigned UID 0 grants root privileges, allowing privilege escalation if such misconfiguration exists.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0555/"}
