It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-1999-1549 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-1999-1549/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1549/index.md)","id":"CVE-1999-1549","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1549/index.md","name":"CVE-1999-1549","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cgjq-p4q9-cfj7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lynx text browser","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can craft a malicious URL to modify configuration files and execute arbitrary commands in the Lynx text browser.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"lynx","vendor":"lynx_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-346","name":"Origin Validation Error"}],"description":"Lynx 2.x does not properly distinguish between internal and external HTML, which may allow a local attacker to read a \"secure\" hidden form value from a temporary file and craft a LYNXOPTIONS: URL that causes Lynx to modify the user's configuration file and execute commands.","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-1999-1549","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"1999"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1550"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1548"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-09-12","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"lynx doesn't properly sanitize user input and exposes database password to unauthorized users","id":"CVE-2014-5002","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-10"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000211","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-17"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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 local attacker can craft a malicious URL to modify configuration files and execute arbitrary commands in the Lynx text browser.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-1999-1549/"}
