HighCVSS 7.8 · v3.1—No exploit Fix available

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 34/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 8.9% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 95.3% of all records.
  • Someone with local access to the system can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • Fixed version: Module::ScanDeps Module::ScanDeps 1.38; azl3 perl-Module-ScanDeps 1.35-3 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.35-3; cbl2 perl-Module-ScanDeps 1.35-2 on CBL Mariner 2.0 1.35-2.
  • Severity is disputed: the assigning authority (CNA) scores it 5.3, NVD 7.8.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to Module::ScanDeps Module::ScanDeps 1.38; azl3 perl-Module-ScanDeps 1.35-3 on Azure Linux 3.0 1.35-3; cbl2 perl-Module-ScanDeps 1.35-2 on CBL Mariner 2.0 1.35-2 or later.

Primary sources: NVD · CVE.org · FIRST EPSS

Qualys discovered that if unsanitized input was used with the library Modules::ScanDeps, before version 1.36 a local attacker could possibly execute arbitrary shell commands by open()ing a "pesky pipe" (such as passing "commands|" as a filename) or by passing arbitrary strings to eval().

Root cause

User input is inserted as text into a shell command. The shell may interpret special characters in the input as part of the command.
