An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2007-5740 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-2007-5740/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5740/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-5740","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5740/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-5740","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2007-5740","DSA-1398-1","DTSA-84-1","GHSA-h8w3-m7vj-q5mc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mail Retrieval Proxy","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on Perdition Mail Retrieval Proxy by exploiting a format string vulnerability in IMAP tag handling.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"perdition_mail_retrieval_proxy","vendor":"vergenet"}],"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-134","name":"Use of Externally-Controlled Format String"}],"description":"The format string protection mechanism in IMAPD for Perdition Mail Retrieval Proxy 1.17 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via an IMAP tag with a null byte followed by a format string specifier, which is not counted by the mechanism.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2007-10-31","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2007-10-31","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"30724","stars":null,"title":"Perdition 1.17 - IMAPD __STR_VWRITE Remote Format String"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5740","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Plone Arbitrary Code Execution via Unsafe Handling of Pickles","id":"CVE-2007-5741"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5739"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-10-31","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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on Perdition Mail Retrieval Proxy by exploiting a format string vulnerability in IMAP tag handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5740/"}
