It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-2827 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-2008-2827/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2827/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2827","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2827/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2827","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-2827","DTSA-142-1","GHSA-h567-wg66-2v4f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl File::Path module","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can modify permissions of arbitrary files via symlink attacks in Perl's rmtree function, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"perl","vendor":"perl"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The rmtree function in lib/File/Path.pm in Perl 5.10 does not properly check permissions before performing a chmod, which allows local users to modify the permissions of arbitrary files via a symlink attack, a different vulnerability than CVE-2005-0448 and CVE-2004-0452.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-06-23","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-06-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"31959","stars":null,"title":"Perl - 'rmtree()' Function Local Insecure Permissions"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2827","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2828"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2826"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-06-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Supply chain in perl","id":"CVE-2026-4176","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48522","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12814","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8608","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-07"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Integer overflow in perl:perl","id":"CVE-2026-13221","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-13"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12883","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-19"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Integer overflow in perl:perl","id":"CVE-2026-57432","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-13"}],"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":"Local attackers can modify permissions of arbitrary files via symlink attacks in Perl's rmtree function, potentially leading to privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2827/"}
