Mail SQR Expert, published on 31 Oct 2022. 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-2022-40742 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SOFTNEXT TECHNOLOGIES CORP. Mail SQR Expert. 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-2022-40742/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40742/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-40742","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-40742/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-40742","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cf7g-v496-72mp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mail SQR Expert","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can exploit a local file inclusion flaw to execute arbitrary PHP code and modify system information.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"twcert","cpe":[{"product":"mail_sqr_expert","vendor":"softnext"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Mail SQR Expert system has a Local File Inclusion vulnerability.
