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-2022-4988 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: KMX Alien::FreeImage. 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-2022-4988/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4988/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-4988","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-4988/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-4988","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wqrc-gg3r-jw9v"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Perl image library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Alien::FreeImage bundles outdated FreeImage libraries with known vulnerabilities, allowing attackers to exploit these flaws via the Perl module.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"supply_chain"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CPANSec","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1395","name":"Dependency on Vulnerable Third-Party Component"}],"description":"Alien::FreeImage versions through 1.001 for Perl contains several vulnerable libraries.\n\nAlien::FreeImage contains version 3.17.0 of the FreeImage library from 2017, which has known vulnerabilities such as CVE-2015-0852 and CVE-2025-65803.
