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-2008-4394 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-2008-4394/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4394/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4394","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4394/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4394","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wg82-w6jx-9hqg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Gentoo package manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code by placing malicious Python modules in the current working directory, affecting Gentoo Portage and related ebuilds.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"portage","vendor":"gentoo"}],"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":[],"description":"Multiple untrusted search path vulnerabilities in Portage before 2.1.4.5 include the current working directory in the Python search path, which allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a modified Python module that is loaded by the (1) ys-apps/portage, (2) net-mail/fetchmail, (3) app-editors/leo ebuilds, and other ebuilds.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4394","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4395"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4393"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Gentoo Portage missing PGP validation of executed code","id":"CVE-2016-20021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-12"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Gentoo Portage does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers","id":"CVE-2013-2100","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-09-29"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-2778","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-27"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-20384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-20"},{"cvss_score":2.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-12-15"}],"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":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code by placing malicious Python modules in the current working directory, affecting Gentoo Portage and related ebuilds.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4394/"}
