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-1999-1263 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-1999-1263/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1263/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1263","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1263/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1263","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xqm9-g4jx-xvgw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Metamail email processor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via malicious uuencoded email attachments processed by Metamail scripts.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"metamail","vendor":"metamail_corporation"}],"cvss":{"score":2.6,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Metamail before 2.7-7.2 allows remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via an e-mail message containing a uuencoded attachment that specifies the full pathname for the file to be modified, which is processed by uuencode in Metamail scripts such as sun-audio-file.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1263","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1264"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Java in Netscape 4.5 does not properly restrict applets from connecting to other hosts besides the one from which the applet was loaded, whi","id":"CVE-1999-1262"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-03-09","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-0709","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-02-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-19"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-19"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1261","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1266","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1808","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-05-10"}],"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 overwrite arbitrary files via malicious uuencoded email attachments processed by Metamail scripts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1263/"}
