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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-6235 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Vim Vim. 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-2008-6235/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6235/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6235","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6235/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6235","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-6235","GHSA-f7gm-2q6r-xxwv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vim text editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames within the Vim Netrw plugin, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vim","vendor":"vim"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"The Netrw plugin (netrw.vim) in Vim 7.0 and 7.1 allows user-assisted attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in a filename used by the (1) \"D\" (delete) command or (2) b:netrw_curdir variable, as demonstrated using the netrw.v4 and netrw.v5 test cases.","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":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6235","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"vim:vim","products":["vim:vim"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6236"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6234"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-02-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-20703","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-20"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6349","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-6350","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5953","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-10"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3075","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3076","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-21"}],"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":"Attackers can execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters in filenames within the Vim Netrw plugin, requiring user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6235/"}
