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-2019-12571 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-2019-12571/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12571/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-12571","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12571/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-12571","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rcf9-hj2v-5jg5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PIA VPN Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit insecure temporary file handling in the PIA VPN client to overwrite arbitrary files, causing data loss or denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"private_internet_access_vpn_client","vendor":"londontrustmedia"}],"cvss":{"score":7.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the London Trust Media Private Internet Access (PIA) VPN Client v0.9.8 beta (build 02099) for macOS could allow an authenticated, local attacker to overwrite arbitrary files. When the client initiates a connection, the XML /tmp/pia-watcher.plist file is created. If the file exists, it will be truncated and the contents completely overwritten. This file is removed on disconnect. An unprivileged user can create a hard or soft link to arbitrary files owned by any user on the system, including root. This creates a denial of service condition and possible data loss if leveraged by a malicious local user.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12571","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12572"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12570"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-07-11","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12574","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12575","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12576","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12577","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12578","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-12579","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-11"}],"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":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A local attacker can exploit insecure temporary file handling in the PIA VPN client to overwrite arbitrary files, causing data loss or denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12571/"}
