An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-40607 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Spectrum Scale. 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-2022-40607/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40607/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40607","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40607/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40607","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-76w5-p7qg-p8gv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Scale","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Users with specific Kubernetes permissions can access files outside the volume on the host filesystem in IBM Spectrum Scale.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"spectrum_scale","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"IBM Spectrum Scale 5.1 could allow users with permissions to create pod, persistent volume and persistent volume claim to access files and directories outside of the volume, including on the host filesystem.
