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: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2023-48706 exists.\n\nAffected product: Fedoraproject Fedora. 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-2023-48706/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48706/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-48706","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-48706/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-48706","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2023-48706","AZL-32047","BELL-CVE-2023-48706","DEBIAN-CVE-2023-48706","ECHO-b725-ea57-16d2","GHSA-c8qm-x72m-q53q","OESA-2023-1901","OESA-2023-1902","OESA-2023-1903","ROOT-OS-ALPINE-318-CVE-2023-48706","UBUNTU-CVE-2023-48706"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vim text editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap-use-after-free in Vim allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a crash via a crafted substitution command.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"neovim","vendor":"neovim"},{"product":"hci_compute_node","vendor":"netapp"},{"product":"vim","vendor":"vim"}],"cvss":{"score":3.6,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Vim is a UNIX editor that, prior to version 9.0.2121, has a heap-use-after-free vulnerability. When executing a `:s` command for the very first time and using a sub-replace-special atom inside the substitution part, it is possible that the recursive `:s` call causes free-ing of memory which may later then be accessed by the initial `:s` command. The user must intentionally execute the payload and the whole process is a bit tricky to do since it seems to work only reliably for the very first :s command. It may also cause a crash of Vim.
