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-2019-4031 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Workload Scheduler Distributed. 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-2019-4031/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4031/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-4031","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4031/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-4031","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fvfx-329r-5rr2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Workload Scheduler","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local user can write files as root in IBM Workload Scheduler Distributed, allowing them to gain root privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"tivoli_workload_scheduler","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":8.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/PR:N/AC:L/AV:L/A:H/I:H/UI:N/C:H/S:U/RL:O/E:U/RC:C","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"IBM Workload Scheduler Distributed 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, and 9.5 contains a vulnerability that could allow a local user to write files as root in the file system, which could allow the attacker to gain root privileges.
