An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-0817 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-1999-0817/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0817/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-0817","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0817/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-0817","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-354v-9299-wg75"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lynx web browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject command-line parameters into Lynx to execute arbitrary commands via external protocol handlers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"lynx","vendor":"university_of_kansas"}],"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":"Lynx WWW client allows a remote attacker to specify command-line parameters which Lynx uses when calling external programs to handle certain protocols, e.g. telnet.","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":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0817","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0818"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0816"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2000-01-04","related":[{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0209","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-04-10"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-11-18"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1617","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-02-20"},{"cvss_score":1.2,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"1999-09-29"}],"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":"Remote attackers can inject command-line parameters into Lynx to execute arbitrary commands via external protocol handlers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-0817/"}
