Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-5931 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-2012-5931/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5931/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5931","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5931/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5931","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wmpm-5g3x-2hjj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Privileged User Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can create or overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal in NetIQ Privileged User Manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"privileged_user_manager","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in the set_log_config function in regclnt.dll in unifid.exe in NetIQ Privileged User Manager 2.3.x before 2.3.1 HF2 allows remote authenticated users to create or overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal sequences in a log pathname.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-11-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-11-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"22737","stars":null,"title":"Novell NetIQ Privileged User Manager 2.3.1 - 'auth.dll' pa_modify_accounts() Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5931","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5932"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5930"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-12-24","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5932","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-24"},{"cvss_score":6.4,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5930","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-24"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can create or overwrite arbitrary files via directory traversal in NetIQ Privileged User Manager.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5931/"}
