Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2005-4217 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Mac Os X Server. 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-2005-4217/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4217/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-4217","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4217/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-4217","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f4v5-c35c-fm7m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mac OS X Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can gain elevated privileges on Mac OS X Server due to improper privilege dropping in Perl.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mac_os_x_server","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Perl in Apple Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 does not properly drop privileges when using the \"$\u003c\" variable to set uid, which allows attackers to gain privileges.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4217","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:mac_os_x_server","products":["apple:mac_os_x_server"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4218"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-4216"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-12-14","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5911","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-09-18"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-17"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0510","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0522","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-30"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5722","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-09-05"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-03-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0504","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-30"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain elevated privileges on Mac OS X Server due to improper privilege dropping in Perl.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-4217/"}
