It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2024-42002 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2024-42002 is a high-severity code injection vulnerability in Open Source Robotics Foundation Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2), published on 28 Sep 2026. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2024-42002 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Open Source Robotics Foundation Robot Operating System 2 (ROS 2). 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-2024-42002/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42002/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-42002","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-42002/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-42002","record":{"aliases":[],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ROS 2 CLI tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can execute arbitrary code via the unsanitized eval() function in the ROS 2 topic hz tool's filter option.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":8.6,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"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 2 (ROS 2) 'ros2topic' command-line tool, affecting all ROS 2 distributions from Crystal Clemmys up to and including Lyrical Luth and Rolling Ridley.
