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-2007-5805 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Aix. 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-2007-5805/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5805/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-5805","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-5805/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-5805","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m77g-9r5h-645w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM AIX OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users in the system group can create arbitrary files and enable world writability via symlink attacks in IBM AIX cfgcon.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"aix","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"cfgcon in IBM AIX 5.2 and 5.3 does not properly validate the argument to the \"-p\" option to swcons, which allows local users in the system group to create an arbitrary file, and enable world writability of this file, via a symlink attack involving use of the file's name as the argument.
