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-2022-4170 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Fedoraproject Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux. 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-2022-4170/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4170/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4170","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4170/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4170","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-4170","GHSA-v3h7-vj8g-6x3r","MGASA-2022-0459","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-4170","openSUSE-SU-2023:0306-1","openSUSE-SU-2024:13323-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"rxvt-unicode terminal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via the Perl background extension if they control terminal data and specific options are enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"fedora","cpe":[{"product":"extra_packages_for_enterprise_linux","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"rxvt-unicode","vendor":"rxvt-unicode_project"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"}],"description":"The rxvt-unicode package is vulnerable to a remote code execution, in the Perl background extension, when an attacker can control the data written to the user's terminal and certain options are set.","ecosystems":["SUSE:Package Hub 15 SP4","SUSE:Package Hub 15 SP5","openSUSE:Leap 15.4","openSUSE:Leap 15.5","openSUSE:Tumbleweed"],"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":"Code injection in rxvt-unicode","id":"CVE-2022-4170","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"fedoraproject:extra_packages_for_enterprise_linux","products":["fedoraproject:extra_packages_for_enterprise_linux","fedoraproject:fedora"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2022"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"demon image annotation \u003c= 5.0 -
