It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2013-4251 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- scipy (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.12.1\n- scipy (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.12.1\n- scipy (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.12.1\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-2013-4251/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4251/index.md)","id":"CVE-2013-4251","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4251/index.md","name":"CVE-2013-4251","record":{"aliases":["DLA-26-1","GHSA-xp76-357g-9wqq","MGASA-2013-0330","PYSEC-2019-156"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python scientific library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Insecure temporary directory creation in SciPy's weave component allows local attackers to escalate privileges or execute code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"scipy","vendor":"scipy"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The scipy.weave component in SciPy before 0.12.1 creates insecure temporary directories.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"SciPy creates insecure temporary directories","id":"CVE-2013-4251","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","fedoraproject:fedora","redhat:enterprise_linux"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2013"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2013-4252"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"scipy","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-xp76-357g-9wqq"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"scipy","purl":"pkg:pypi/scipy","source":"GHSA-xp76-357g-9wqq"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["0.12.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"scipy","purl":"pkg:pypi/scipy","source":"PYSEC-2019-156"}],"prev":{"headline":"TYPO3 doesn't properly check file extensions","id":"CVE-2013-4250"},"products":["SciPy"],"published":"2019-11-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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":["SciPy"]},"summary":"Insecure temporary directory creation in SciPy's weave component allows local attackers to escalate privileges or execute code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2013-4251/"}
