It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-42137 exists.\n\nAffected product: PAX Technology POS terminals. 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-2023-42137/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42137/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-42137","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42137/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-42137","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w8g8-vhwr-gr27"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PAX POS terminal","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers with shell access can execute commands with high privileges on PAX POS devices via malicious symlinks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"CERT-PL","cpe":[{"product":"paydroid","vendor":"paxtechnology"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-59","name":"Improper Link Resolution Before File Access"}],"description":"PAX Android based POS devices with PayDroid_8.1.0_Sagittarius_V11.1.50_20230614 or earlier can allow for command execution with high privileges by using malicious symlinks.\n\nThe attacker must have shell access to the device in order to exploit this vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in POS terminals","id":"CVE-2023-42137","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in KV REPLAY VIEWER","id":"CVE-2023-42138"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in POS terminals","id":"CVE-2023-42136"},"products":["POS terminals"],"published":"2024-01-15","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in POS terminals","id":"CVE-2023-42136","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-26582","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-16"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Security feature bypass in A920","id":"CVE-2023-4818","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-15"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Code injection in POS terminals","id":"CVE-2023-42134","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-15"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Command injection in A50","id":"CVE-2023-42135","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-15"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-26580","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"poc","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-06-17","vendors":["PAX Technology"]},"summary":"Attackers with shell access can execute commands with high privileges on PAX POS devices via malicious symlinks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-42137/"}
