An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2013-2423 in the wild since at least 25 May 2022.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu Linux. 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-2013-2423/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2423/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-2423","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-2423/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-2423","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wq4h-35pf-mp23"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java Runtime Environment","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass security manager restrictions via type confusion in HotSpot, enabling privilege escalation and arbitrary code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"oracle","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"jre","vendor":"oracle"}],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) component in Oracle Java SE 7 Update 17 and earlier, and OpenJDK 7, allows remote attackers to affect integrity via unknown vectors related to HotSpot.
