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-2008-5076 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-2008-5076/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5076/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5076","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5076/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5076","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-5076","GHSA-h5hm-x9rx-833w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify","other"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"System monitoring tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can exploit unsanitized process names in htop to hide processes or modify arbitrary files via control characters.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"htop","vendor":"htop"}],"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-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"htop 0.7 writes process names to a terminal without sanitizing non-printable characters, which might allow local users to hide processes, modify arbitrary files, or have unspecified other impact via a process name with \"crazy control strings.\"","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":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5076","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5077"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5075"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-11-14","related":[],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can exploit unsanitized process names in htop to hide processes or modify arbitrary files via control characters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5076/"}
