It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2019-4521 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2019-4521 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in IBM Cloud Pak System, published on 10 Dec 2019. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2019-4521 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Cloud Pak System. 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-2019-4521/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4521/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-4521","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-4521/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-4521","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hp2p-gr52-7qp5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cloud Pak System","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands on IBM Cloud Pak System via improper validation of CSV file contents.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_system","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/UI:R/PR:N/C:H/S:U/AC:H/A:H/AV:L/I:H/RL:O/E:U/RC:C","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1236","name":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File"}],"description":"Platform System Manager in IBM Cloud Pak System 2.3 is potentially vulnerable to CVS Injection.
