An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2024-33871 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2024-33871 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Artifex Ghostscript, published on 3 Jul 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-33871 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Artifex Ghostscript. 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-2024-33871/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-33871/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-33871","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-33871/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-33871","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2024-33871","ALSA-2024:3999","ALSA-2024:4000","BELL-CVE-2024-33871","DEBIAN-CVE-2024-33871","GHSA-mq7h-fm69-h6xq","OESA-2024-2458","RHSA-2024:3999","RHSA-2024:4000","RHSA-2024:4014","RHSA-2024:4462","RHSA-2024:4527","RHSA-2024:4537","RHSA-2024:4541","RHSA-2024:4544","RHSA-2024:4549","RLSA-2024:3999","RLSA-2024:4000","ROOT-OS-ALPINE-317-CVE-2024-33871","SUSE-SU-2024:2198-1","SUSE-SU-2024:2199-1","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-33871"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Ghostscript library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted PostScript documents by exploiting dynamic library loading in Ghostscript.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ghostscript","vendor":"artifex"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in Artifex Ghostscript before 10.03.1. contrib/opvp/gdevopvp.c allows arbitrary code execution via a custom Driver library, exploitable via a crafted PostScript document.
