An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2009-2169 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-2009-2169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-2169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-2169/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-2169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jjxh-2wf9-5qv2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF Viewer Component","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via the ActiveX control, potentially achieving code execution by writing to startup folders.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pdf_viewer_component","vendor":"edraw"}],"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-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Insecure method vulnerability in the PDFVIEWER.PDFViewerCtrl.1 ActiveX control (pdfviewer.ocx) in Edraw PDF Viewer Component before 3.2.0.126 allows remote attackers to create and overwrite arbitrary files via a URL argument to the FtpConnect argument and a target filename argument to the FtpDownloadFile method.
