It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2017-12243 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2017-12243 is a high-severity command injection vulnerability in Cisco UCS Manager, Cisco Firepower 4100 Series NGFW, and Cisco Firepower 9300 Security Appliance, published on 2 Nov 2017. 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-2017-12243 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco UCS Manager, Cisco Firepower 4100 Series NGFW, and Cisco Firepower 9300 Security Appliance. 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-2017-12243/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12243/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-12243","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12243/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-12243","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-742f-jwrq-hgqc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco UCS and Firepower","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An authenticated local attacker can exploit improper input validation to execute arbitrary commands and gain root privileges on Cisco UCS and Firepower devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"firepower_4100_next-generation_firewall_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"firepower_9300_security_appliance_firmware","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"unified_computing_system_manager_firmware","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/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":"A vulnerability in the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) Manager, Cisco Firepower 4100 Series Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW), and Cisco Firepower 9300 Security Appliance could allow an authenticated, local attacker to obtain root shell privileges on the device, aka Command Injection.
