An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2022-45299 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- webbrowser (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 0.8.3\n- webbrowser (crates.io): affected all versions; fixed in 0.8.3\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-2022-45299/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-45299/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-45299","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-45299/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-45299","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-45299","GHSA-m589-mv4q-p7rj","UBUNTU-CVE-2022-45299","openSUSE-SU-2024:12620-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Rust webbrowser library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can access arbitrary files by supplying a crafted URL to the IpFile argument in the webbrowser-rs library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webbrowser","vendor":"webbrowser_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-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"An issue in the IpFile argument of rust-lang webbrowser-rs v0.8.2 allows attackers to access arbitrary files via supplying a crafted URL.","ecosystems":["crates.io"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2023-01-13","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2023-01-13T11:47:02Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/offalltn/CVE-2022-45299","stars":1,"title":"CVE 2022-45299"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"webbrowser-rs allows attackers to access arbitrary files via supplying a crafted URL","id":"CVE-2022-45299","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"crates.io","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2022"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Misconfiguration in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-45301"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.8.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"webbrowser","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-m589-mv4q-p7rj"},{"ecosystem":"crates.io","fixed":["0.8.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"webbrowser","purl":"pkg:cargo/webbrowser","source":"GHSA-m589-mv4q-p7rj"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-45297"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-01-13","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-04-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can access arbitrary files by supplying a crafted URL to the IpFile argument in the webbrowser-rs library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-45299/"}
