An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-12938 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-2017-12938/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12938/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-12938","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12938/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-12938","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-12938","GHSA-hc8j-qhm9-c5f4","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-12938"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"UnRAR library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass directory-traversal protections in UnRAR using symlinks, potentially accessing restricted directories.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"unrar","vendor":"rarlab"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"UnRAR before 5.5.7 allows remote attackers to bypass a directory-traversal protection mechanism via vectors involving a symlink to the . directory, a symlink to the .. directory, and a regular file.","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-2017-12938","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12939"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12937"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12940","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12942","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-08-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6706","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-20006","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-25018","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-48579","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-07"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass directory-traversal protections in UnRAR using symlinks, potentially accessing restricted directories.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12938/"}
