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-2017-9772 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-2017-9772/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9772/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-9772","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9772/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-9772","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jggq-92ww-7r4w","OSEC-2017-01"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OCaml compiler","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in setuid binaries by manipulating specific environment variables in the OCaml compiler.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ocaml","vendor":"ocaml"}],"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":[],"description":"Insufficient sanitisation in the OCaml compiler versions 4.04.0 and 4.04.1 allows external code to be executed with raised privilege in binaries marked as setuid, by setting the CAML_CPLUGINS, CAML_NATIVE_CPLUGINS, or CAML_BYTE_CPLUGINS environment variable.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9772","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9773"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9771"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-06-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9838","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-06"},{"cvss_score":7.9,"headline":"Memory corruption in OCaml","id":"CVE-2026-28364","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-9779","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-07"},{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Integer overflow in OCaml","id":"CVE-2026-34353","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-27"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges in setuid binaries by manipulating specific environment variables in the OCaml compiler.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-9772/"}
