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-2003-0480 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vmware Workstation. 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-2003-0480/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0480/index.md)","id":"CVE-2003-0480","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0480/index.md","name":"CVE-2003-0480","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-75mq-57vc-998v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Workstation","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink manipulation to gain elevated privileges on Linux systems running VMware Workstation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"workstation","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:H/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"VMware Workstation 4.0 for Linux allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files and gain privileges via \"symlink manipulation.\"","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-2003-0480","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vmware:workstation","products":["vmware:workstation"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2003"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0481"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0479"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2003-06-28","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Use after free in VMware Workstation","id":"CVE-2019-5525","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-06-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in VMware Workstation","id":"CVE-2019-5511","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VMware Workstation","id":"CVE-2019-5512","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-09"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Path traversal in VMware Workstation","id":"CVE-2023-20854","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-03"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in VMware Workstation","id":"CVE-2019-5526","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Workstation","id":"CVE-2017-4939","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-1069","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-05-02"}],"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":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via symlink manipulation to gain elevated privileges on Linux systems running VMware Workstation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2003-0480/"}
