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-2002-0542 exists.\n\nAffected product: Openbsd Openbsd. 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-2002-0542/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0542/index.md)","id":"CVE-2002-0542","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0542/index.md","name":"CVE-2002-0542","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2r4p-jx45-wqw6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenBSD mail utility","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain root privileges by exploiting tilde escape processing in the mail utility when invoked via cron.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openbsd","vendor":"openbsd"}],"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":"mail in OpenBSD 2.9 and 3.0 processes a tilde (~) escape character in a message even when it is not in interactive mode, which could allow local users to gain root privileges via calls to mail in cron.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2002-04-11","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2002-04-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"21373","stars":null,"title":"OpenBSD 2.9/3.0 - Default Crontab Root Command Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0542","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"openbsd:openbsd","products":["openbsd:openbsd"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2002"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0543"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2002-0541"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-04-02","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1365","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-03-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-03-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0083","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0084","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-02-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-0284","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-1010","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-01-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-16088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-28"}],"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 gain root privileges by exploiting tilde escape processing in the mail utility when invoked via cron.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2002-0542/"}
