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-1999-1053 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apache Http Server. 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-1999-1053/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1053/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1053","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1053/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1053","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7fhv-p5jq-2v6f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl guestbook script","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via Server Side Includes in guestbook.pl due to improper input sanitization.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"http_server","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"matt_wright_guestbook","vendor":"matt_wright"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"guestbook.pl cleanses user-inserted SSI commands by removing text between \"\u003c!--\" and \"--\u003e\" separators, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands when guestbook.pl is run on Apache 1.3.9 and possibly other versions, since Apache allows other closing sequences besides \"--\u003e\".","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"1999-11-05","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2022-11-21T12:02:42Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/siunam321/CVE-1999-1053-PoC","stars":1,"title":"CVE-1999-1053 Proof-of-Concept Exploit"},{"date":"1999-11-05","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"9907","stars":null,"title":"The Matt Wright Guestbook.pl 2.3.1 - Server-Side Include"},{"date":"1999-11-05","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/unix/webapp/guestbook_ssi_exec","stars":null,"title":"Matt Wright guestbook.pl Arbitrary Command Execution"},{"date":"2010-07-03","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16914","stars":null,"title":"The Matt Wright Guestbook.pl - Arbitrary Command Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1053","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apache:http_server","products":["apache:http_server"],"type":"code_injection","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1054"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1052"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-42013","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Improper Escaping of Output","id":"CVE-2024-38475","kev_date_added":"2025-05-01","published":"2024-07-01"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF)","id":"CVE-2021-40438","kev_date_added":"2021-12-01","published":"2021-09-16"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2019-0211","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-04-08"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache HTTP Server Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2021-41773","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-10-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0425","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-05"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2700","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-09-06"}],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-01","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via Server Side Includes in guestbook.pl due to improper input sanitization.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1053/"}
