It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-2142 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-2008-2142/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2142/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2142","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2142/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2142","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-2142","GHSA-6hwc-q43w-j73j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Emacs text editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening files with malicious associated .flc lock files in Emacs or XEmacs.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"emacs","vendor":"gnu"},{"product":"xemacs","vendor":"gnu"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Emacs 21 and XEmacs automatically load and execute .flc (fast lock) files that are associated with other files that are edited within Emacs, which allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary code.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2142","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":24,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2143"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2140"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-05-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6109","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-12-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-39331","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-53920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-11-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-30202","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-03-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in emacs","id":"CVE-2023-2491","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-05-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"emacsclient-mail.desktop in Emacs 28.1 through 28.2 is vulnerable to shell command injections through a crafted mailto: URI.","id":"CVE-2023-27985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-09"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"emacsclient-mail.desktop in Emacs 28.1 through 28.2 is vulnerable to Emacs Lisp code injections through a crafted mailto: URI with unescaped","id":"CVE-2023-27986","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-03-09"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening files with malicious associated .flc lock files in Emacs or XEmacs.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2142/"}
