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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-4131 exists.\n\nAffected product: Sun Solaris. 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-2008-4131/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4131/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4131","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4131/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4131","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q4v5-rxjg-w95g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Solaris text editors","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting vulnerabilities in the tag handling of vi, ex, and related text editors on Solaris.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"solaris","vendor":"sun"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in Sun Solaris 8 through 10 allow local users to gain privileges via vectors related to handling of tags with (1) the -t option and (2) the :tag command in the (a) vi, (b) ex, (c) vedit, (d) view, and (e) edit programs.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-09-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-09-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32393","stars":null,"title":"Sun Solaris 9/10 Text Editors - Command Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4131","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sun:solaris","products":["sun:solaris"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4132"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4130"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-09-19","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3869","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3870","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-05-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4556","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-3093","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-06-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-1081","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-02-08"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-1351","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-01-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-0722","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2003-09-17"}],"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 escalate privileges by exploiting vulnerabilities in the tag handling of vi, ex, and related text editors on Solaris.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4131/"}
