It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2015-5287 in the wild since at least 26 Aug 2026.\n\nAffected product: Oracle 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-2015-5287/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5287/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5287","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5287/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5287","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hf8c-7p7w-mch5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ABRT tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges via symlink attacks on predictable filenames in the ABRT coredump handler.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"linux","vendor":"oracle"},{"product":"automatic_bug_reporting_tool","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_hpc_node","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"The abrt-hook-ccpp help program in Automatic Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT) before 2.7.1 allows local users with certain permissions to gain privileges via a symlink attack on a file with a predictable name, as demonstrated by /var/tmp/abrt/abrt-hax-coredump or /var/spool/abrt/abrt-hax-coredump.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":4,"first_seen":"2015-11-23","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2015-11-23","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/linux/local/abrt_sosreport_priv_esc","stars":null,"title":"ABRT sosreport Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2015-12-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"38832","stars":null,"title":"RHEL 7.0/7.1 - 'abrt/sosreport' Local Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2015-12-01","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"38835","stars":null,"title":"abrt (Centos 7.1 / Fedora 22) - Local Privilege Escalation"},{"date":"2019-09-25","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"47421","stars":null,"title":"ABRT - sosreport Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2019-09-25","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"47421","stars":null,"title":"ABRT - sosreport Privilege Escalation (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2026-08-27T08:14:20Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/HORKimhab/CVE-2015-5287","stars":0,"title":"CVE-2015-5287"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Red Hat Automatic Bug Reporting Tool Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-5287","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2026-08-26","dueDate":"2026-09-09","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Automatic Bug Reporting Tool","requiredAction":"Apply mitigations in accordance with vendor instructions, ensuring compliance with CISA’s BOD 26-04 Prioritizing Security Updates Based on Risk (see URL in Notes) guidance and CISA’s “Forensics Triage Requirements” (see URL in Notes).
