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-2024-40445 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2024-40445/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40445/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-40445","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-40445/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-40445","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4qhj-jmx7-8mr8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mime TeX library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can read or append arbitrary files on Windows systems via crafted input paths in the Mime TeX library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mimetex","vendor":"ctan"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-77","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command"}],"description":"A directory traversal vulnerability in forkosh Mime TeX before version 1.77 allows attackers on Windows systems to read or append arbitrary files by manipulating crafted input paths.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2025-04-21","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":0,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-04-21T15:01:29Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/TaiYou-TW/CVE-2024-40445_CVE-2024-40446","stars":0,"title":"This repository serves as the public reference for CVE-2024-40445 and CVE-2024-40446.
