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-2015-5700 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2015-5700/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5700/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-5700","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5700/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-5700","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2015-5700","GHSA-hqv5-49rw-222p","UBUNTU-CVE-2015-5700"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TeX Live utilities","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can write to arbitrary files via symlink attacks in mktexlsr, potentially compromising system integrity.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"texlive","vendor":"tug"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"mktexlsr revision 22855 through revision 36625 as packaged in texlive allows local users to write to arbitrary files via a symlink attack.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5700","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5701"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5699"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-25","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5701","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-25"},{"cvss_score":4.7,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-0296","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-06"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can write to arbitrary files via symlink attacks in mktexlsr, potentially compromising system integrity.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-5700/"}
