An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5186 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-2008-5186/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5186/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5186","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5186/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5186","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-5186","GHSA-rhpx-cf93-fp5q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PHP syntax highlighter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers might exploit file inclusion in GeSHi library via crafted inputs, though the vendor disputes this vulnerability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"geshi","vendor":"geshi"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The set_language_path function in geshi.php in Generic Syntax Highlighter (GeSHi) before 1.0.8.1 might allow remote attackers to conduct file inclusion attacks via crafted inputs that influence the default language path ($path variable).
