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-2024-51481 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: NixOS nix. 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-2024-51481/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-51481/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-51481","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-51481/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-51481","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wf4c-57rh-9pjg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Nix package manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can bypass macOS sandbox restrictions in Nix built-in builders to read or write files outside the sandbox, requiring sandboxing to be enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"GitHub_M","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":1,"severity":"low","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:H/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-693","name":"Protection Mechanism Failure"}],"description":"Nix is a package manager for Linux and other Unix systems. On macOS, built-in builders (such as `builtin:fetchurl`, exposed to users with `import \u003cnix/fetchurl.nix\u003e`) were not executed in the macOS sandbox. Thus, these builders (which are running under the `nixbld*` users) had read access to world-readable paths and write access to world-writable paths outside of the sandbox. This issue is fixed in 2.18.9, 2.19.7, 2.20.9, 2.21.5, 2.22.4, 2.23.4, and 2.24.10. Note that sandboxing is not enabled by default on macOS. The Nix sandbox is not primarily intended as a security mechanism, but as an aid to improve reproducibility and purity of Nix builds. However, sandboxing *can* mitigate the impact of other security issues by limiting what parts of the host system a build has access to.","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":"Nix allows macOS sandbox escape via built-in builders","id":"CVE-2024-51481","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Boolean-based SQL Injection in ZoneMinder v1.37.* \u003c= 1.37.64","id":"CVE-2024-51482"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"RedisTimeSeries Integer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-51480"},"products":["nix"],"published":"2024-10-31","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"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":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-31","vendors":["NixOS"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass macOS sandbox restrictions in Nix built-in builders to read or write files outside the sandbox, requiring sandboxing to be enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-51481/"}
