It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2001-0873 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-2001-0873/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0873/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-0873","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0873/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-0873","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cx5-vc2r-w88x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"UUCP utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting improper handling of dangerous long options in the uuxqt utility.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"taylor_uucp","vendor":"ian_lance_taylor"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"uuxqt in Taylor UUCP package does not properly remove dangerous long options, which allows local users to gain privileges by calling uux and specifying an alternate configuration file with the --config option.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2001-09-08","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-09-08","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21106","stars":null,"title":"Taylor UUCP 1.0.6 - Argument Handling Privilege Escalation"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0873","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0874"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0872"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-04-02","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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting improper handling of dangerous long options in the uuxqt utility.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-0873/"}
