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-2024-8244 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Go standard library path/filepath. 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-2024-8244/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8244/index.md)","id":"CVE-2024-8244","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8244/index.md","name":"CVE-2024-8244","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2024-8244","ECHO-cf03-9570-1659","GHSA-v9vr-w93g-qph7","UBUNTU-CVE-2024-8244"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Go standard library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can exploit a race condition in Go's filepath.Walk to bypass symlink restrictions, potentially accessing unintended files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"Go","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":3.7,"severity":"low","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"The filepath.Walk and filepath.WalkDir functions are documented as not following symbolic links, but both functions are susceptible to a TOCTOU (time of check/time of use) race condition where a portion of the path being walked is replaced with a symbolic link while the walk is in progress.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Walk/WalkDir in path/filepath susceptible to symlink race","id":"CVE-2024-8244","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2024"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"GamiPress - Reset User \u003c= 1.0.0 - GamiPress User Data Removal via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-8245"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Plugin Upgrade Time Out \u003c= 1.0 - Stored XSS via CSRF","id":"CVE-2024-8243"},"products":["path/filepath"],"published":"2025-08-06","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-03","vendors":["Go standard library"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a race condition in Go's filepath.Walk to bypass symlink restrictions, potentially accessing unintended files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2024-8244/"}
