It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2024-41921 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2024-41921 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Open Source Robotics Foundation Robot Operating System (ROS), published on 17 Jul 2025. 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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-41921 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Open Source Robotics Foundation Robot Operating System (ROS). 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-2024-41921/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-41921/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-41921","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-41921/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-41921","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2024-41921","GHSA-7mg9-54m6-qh35","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-41921"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ROS rostopic tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code via the rostopic echo tool's filter option due to unsafe eval usage.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"robot_operating_system","vendor":"openrobotics"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-95","name":"Improper Neutralization of Directives in Dynamically Evaluated Code"},{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"A code injection vulnerability has been discovered in the Robot Operating System (ROS) 'rostopic' command-line tool, affecting ROS distributions Noetic Ninjemys and earlier.

This input is passed directly to the eval() function without sanitization, allowing a local user to craft and execute arbitrary code.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Unsafe use of eval() method in rostopic echo tool","id":"CVE-2024-41921","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in Anka Build","id":"CVE-2024-41922"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in 'Rakuten Ichiba App' for Android","id":"CVE-2024-41918"},"products":["Robot Operating System (ROS)"],"published":"2025-07-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-38921","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-41644","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-41645","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-41646","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-41647","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-41649","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-38923","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-12-06"}],"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":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-07-18","vendors":["Open Source Robotics Foundation"]},"summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code via the rostopic echo tool's filter option due to unsafe eval usage.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-41921/"}
