Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Module::ScanDeps up to 1.35. This affects some unknown processing of the component Pesky Pipe Handler. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a os command injection vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-78. The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

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().

This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2024-10224 since 10/21/2024. The exploitability is told to be easy. An attack has to be approached locally. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available. MITRE ATT&CK project uses the attack technique T1202 for this issue.

The exploit is shared for download at packetstormsecurity.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 211605 (Debian dla-3958 : libmodule-scandeps-perl - security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.

Upgrading to version 1.36 eliminates this vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (211605). Several companies clearly confirm that VulDB is the primary source for best vulnerability data.
