An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-12761 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- pyxdg (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.26\n- pyxdg (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.26\n- pyxdg (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 0.26\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-2019-12761/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12761/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-12761","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-12761/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-12761","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2019-12761","DLA-1819-1","DLA-2727-1","GHSA-r6v3-hpxj-r8rv","PYSEC-2019-199","SNYK-PYTHON-PYXDG-174562","SUSE-SU-2022:2997-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2019-12761","USN-4700-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Python XDG library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted XML in .menu files if XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is configured, affecting applications using PyXDG.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pyxdg","vendor":"python"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"A code injection issue was discovered in PyXDG before 0.26 via crafted Python code in a Category element of a Menu XML document in a .menu file.
