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-2011-4125 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Calibre. 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-2011-4125/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4125/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-4125","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4125/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-4125","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2011-4125","GHSA-m2cr-mfg2-6hxg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Calibre e-book manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Untrusted search path in Calibre allows unprivileged users to execute arbitrary programs as root, enabling local privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"calibre","vendor":"calibre-ebook"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"A untrusted search path issue was found in Calibre at devices/linux_mount_helper.c leading to the ability of unprivileged users to execute any program as root.","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":"Privilege escalation in Calibre","id":"CVE-2011-4125","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in Calibre","id":"CVE-2011-4126"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in Calibre","id":"CVE-2011-4124"},"products":["Calibre"],"published":"2021-10-27","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in Calibre","id":"CVE-2011-4124","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-27"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"calibre: Path Traversal Vulnerability Enables Arbitrary File Write and Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-26064","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"calibre: Path Traversal can Lead to Arbitrary File Write and Potential Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-26065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-20"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"calibre has a Path Traversal Leading to Arbitrary File Write and Potential Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-25635","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-06"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"calibre has a path traversal vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-33206","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"calibre has a Path Traversal Leading to Arbitrary File Corruption and Code Execution","id":"CVE-2026-25636","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-06"}],"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":"Untrusted search path in Calibre allows unprivileged users to execute arbitrary programs as root, enabling local privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-4125/"}
