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-1999-0661 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-1999-0661/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0661/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0661","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0661/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0661","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8wmh-7mx7-jf2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"other","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Trojanized software packages","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges by distributing Trojanized versions of popular system utilities and servers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"supply_chain"},"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 system is running a version of software that was replaced with a Trojan Horse at one of its distribution points, such as (1) TCP Wrappers 7.6, (2) util-linux 2.9g, (3) wuarchive ftpd (wuftpd) 2.2 and 2.1f, (4) IRC client (ircII) ircII 2.2.9, (5) OpenSSH 3.4p1, or (6) Sendmail 8.12.6.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2002-10-08","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2002-10-08","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21919","stars":null,"title":"Sendmail 8.12.6 - Compromised Source Backdoor"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Supply chain in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0661","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"supply_chain","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0662"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-1999-0660"},"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":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code and escalate privileges by distributing Trojanized versions of popular system utilities and servers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0661/"}
