An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-5579 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-2008-5579/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5579/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5579","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5579/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5579","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6vw8-p3h2-qw42"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"mini-pub web application","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the sFileName parameter of mini-pub.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mini-pub","vendor":"mini-pub"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Absolute path traversal vulnerability in mini-pub.php/front-end/cat.php in mini-pub 0.3 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a full pathname in the sFileName parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-10-12","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-10-12","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6733","stars":null,"title":"mini-pub 0.3 - File Disclosure / Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5579","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":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5580"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5578"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-15","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5883","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5580","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-15"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5581","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-15"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-22"}],"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":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on the server via path traversal in the sFileName parameter of mini-pub.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5579/"}
