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-2017-8418 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- rubocop (RubyGems): affected all versions; fixed in 0.49.0\n- rubocop (RubyGems): affected all versions; fixed in 0.49.0\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-2017-8418/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8418/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8418","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8418/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8418","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-8418","GHSA-wmjf-jpjj-9f3j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ruby code linter","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can tamper with cache files of other users due to unsafe temporary file handling in RuboCop.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"rubocop","vendor":"rubocop_project"}],"cvss":{"score":3.3,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-668","name":"Exposure of Resource to Wrong Sphere"}],"description":"RuboCop 0.48.1 and earlier does not use /tmp in safe way, allowing local users to exploit this to tamper with cache files belonging to other users.","ecosystems":["RubyGems"],"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":"RuboCop gem Insecure use of /tmp","id":"CVE-2017-8418","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2017"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8419"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["0.49.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"rubocop","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-wmjf-jpjj-9f3j"},{"ecosystem":"RubyGems","fixed":["0.49.0"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"rubocop","purl":"pkg:gem/rubocop","source":"GHSA-wmjf-jpjj-9f3j"}],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8417"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-05-02","related":[],"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":"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":"Local attackers can tamper with cache files of other users due to unsafe temporary file handling in RuboCop.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8418/"}
