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-2012-1187 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Bitlbee. 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-2012-1187/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1187/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-1187","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1187/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-1187","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-1187","GHSA-h93j-297h-hcxm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Bitlbee IM gateway","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Bitlbee fails to drop extra group privileges correctly, allowing local attackers to escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"bitlbee","vendor":"bitlbee"}],"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-273","name":"Improper Check for Dropped Privileges"}],"description":"Bitlbee does not drop extra group privileges correctly in unix.c","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 Bitlbee","id":"CVE-2012-1187","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Fork CMS Multiple XSS Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2012-1188"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1186"},"products":["Bitlbee"],"published":"2019-10-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5668","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10189","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in BitlBee before 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to \"recreate\" and \"hijack\" existing accounts via unspecified vectors.","id":"CVE-2008-3920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-04"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in BitlBee before 1.2.3 allow remote attackers to \"overwrite\" and \"hijack\" existing accounts via unknow","id":"CVE-2008-3969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-10"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Bitlbee"]},"summary":"Bitlbee fails to drop extra group privileges correctly, allowing local attackers to escalate privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-1187/"}
