Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2006-6683 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-2006-6683/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6683/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6683","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6683/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6683","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rqrq-c7rw-wmc4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Linux authentication tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass PAM restrictions to update user accounts, potentially escalating privileges or gaining unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"chetcpasswd","vendor":"pedro_lineu_orso"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Pedro Lineu Orso chetcpasswd 2.4.1 and earlier verifies and updates user accounts via custom code that processes /etc/shadow and does not follow the PAM configuration, which might allow remote attackers to bypass intended restrictions implemented through PAM.","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":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6683","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6684"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6682"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-12-21","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-12-21"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6685","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-12-21"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass PAM restrictions to update user accounts, potentially escalating privileges or gaining unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6683/"}
