It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2023-35899 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2023-35899 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in IBM Cloud Pak for Automation, published on 5 Mar 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-35899 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Cloud Pak for Automation. 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-2023-35899/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-35899/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-35899","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-35899/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-35899","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8ph-83jm-g88m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cloud Pak for Automation","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary commands via CSV injection in IBM Cloud Pak for Automation due to improper input validation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cloud_pak_for_business_automation","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-1236","name":"Improper Neutralization of Formula Elements in a CSV File"}],"description":"IBM Cloud Pak for Automation 18.0.0, 18.0.1, 18.0.2, 19.0.1, 19.0.2, 19.0.3, 20.0.1, 20.0.2, 20.0.3, 21.0.1, 21.0.2, 21.0.3, 22.0.1, and 22.0.2 is potentially vulnerable to CSV Injection.
