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-2019-5438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- harp (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.40.3\n- harp (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.40.3\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-2019-5438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-5438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5438/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-5438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6fmm-47qc-p4m4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"npm harp module","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can exploit symlink path traversal in the harp module to read or modify arbitrary files on the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"harp","vendor":"harpjs"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"},{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Path traversal using symlink in npm harp module versions \u003c= 0.29.0.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Unauthorized File Access in harp","id":"CVE-2019-5438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2019"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in VLC Media Player","id":"CVE-2019-5439"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["0.40.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"harp","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-6fmm-47qc-p4m4"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["0.40.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"harp","purl":"pkg:npm/harp","source":"GHSA-6fmm-47qc-p4m4"}],"prev":{"headline":"Unauthorized File Access in harp","id":"CVE-2019-5437"},"products":["harp"],"published":"2019-05-10","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Unauthorized File Access in harp","id":"CVE-2019-5437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-10"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"An attacker can exploit symlink path traversal in the harp module to read or modify arbitrary files on the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-5438/"}
