CWE-22Published: March 17, 2008· Updated: Jun 16, 2026
4.9
CVSS v3.1
Official Description
Directory traversal vulnerability in (1) pkgadd and (2) pkgrm in SCO UnixWare 7.1.4 allows local users to gain privileges via unknown vectors.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2008-1343 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-2008-1343. While not yet confirmed in active campaigns, the availability of PoC code increases exploitation risk substantially.
