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-2017-1000116/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-1000116/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-1000116","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-1000116/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-1000116","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2017-1000116","DEBIAN-CVE-2017-1000116","GHSA-3qmg-c9vc-r47j","PYSEC-2017-89","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-1000116"],"analysis":null,"analysis_generated_by":null,"assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"mercurial","vendor":"mercurial"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_aus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_tus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"Mercurial prior to 4.3 did not adequately sanitize hostnames passed to ssh, leading to possible shell-injection attacks.","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":"Mercurial is vulnerable to shell injection attack","id":"CVE-2017-1000116","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_aus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server_tus","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation"],"type":null,"year":"2017"},"n_packages":3,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000117"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mercurial","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-3qmg-c9vc-r47j"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mercurial","purl":"pkg:pypi/mercurial","source":"GHSA-3qmg-c9vc-r47j"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"mercurial","purl":"pkg:pypi/mercurial","source":"PYSEC-2017-89"}],"prev":{"headline":"Mercurial missing symlink check","id":"CVE-2017-1000115"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-10-04","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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":null,"url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-1000116/"}
