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-2019-15900 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-2019-15900/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15900/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-15900","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-15900/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-15900","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-687w-xp39-q584"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"doas privilege tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute commands as root on non-OpenBSD platforms due to unchecked sscanf errors in doas, leading to privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"doas","vendor":"doas_project"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"},{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-754","name":"Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions"},{"id":"CWE-252","name":"Unchecked Return Value"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in slicer69 doas before 6.2 on certain platforms other than OpenBSD.
