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-2023-43608 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Buildroot. 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-2023-43608/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43608/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-43608","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-43608/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-43608","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f58h-8g6h-hwcr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Buildroot build system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A man-in-the-middle attack can exploit disabled hash checks in Buildroot to execute arbitrary commands on the builder.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"supply_chain"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"talos","cpe":[{"product":"buildroot","vendor":"buildroot"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-494","name":"Download of Code Without Integrity Check"}],"description":"A data integrity vulnerability exists in the BR_NO_CHECK_HASH_FOR functionality of Buildroot 2023.08.1 and dev commit 622698d7847.
