CWE-22Published: April 7, 2008· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
6.9
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Directory traversal vulnerability in pkgadd in SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 before p534589 allows local users to create or append to arbitrary files via ".." sequences in an unspecified environment variable, probably PKGINST.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-0310 requires local access, meaning attackers must already have a foothold on the target system.
Exploitation requires some privileges, which limits the exposure to scenarios where an attacker has already gained initial access.
A proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit exists for CVE-2008-0310. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
