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-2022-46996 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2022-46996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-46996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-46996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-46996/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-46996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5q5h-874v-f63h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python request package","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A backdoor in the request package allows attackers to execute code, steal sensitive data, and escalate privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"supply_chain"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"vsphere_selfuse","vendor":"vsphere_selfuse_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-912","name":"Hidden Functionality"}],"description":"vSphere_selfuse commit 2a9fe074a64f6a0dd8ac02f21e2f10d66cac5749 was discovered to contain a code execution backdoor via the request package.
