CVE-2024-24821 SUSE CVE security@suse.de SUSE Security Team SUSE CVE-2024-24821 Interim 1 14 2026-03-05T02:50:02Z current 2024-02-11T00:09:23Z 2026-03-05T02:50:02Z cve-database/bin/generate-cvrf-cve.pl 2020-12-27T01:00:00Z CVE-2024-24821 Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language. In affected versions several files within the local working directory are included during the invocation of Composer and in the context of the executing user. As such, under certain conditions arbitrary code execution may lead to local privilege escalation, provide lateral user movement or malicious code execution when Composer is invoked within a directory with tampered files. All Composer CLI commands are affected, including composer.phar's self-update. The following scenarios are of high risk: Composer being run with sudo, Pipelines which may execute Composer on untrusted projects, Shared environments with developers who run Composer individually on the same project. This vulnerability has been addressed in versions 2.7.0 and 2.2.23. It is advised that the patched versions are applied at the earliest convenience. Where not possible, the following should be addressed: Remove all sudo composer privileges for all users to mitigate root privilege escalation, and avoid running Composer within an untrusted directory, or if needed, verify that the contents of `vendor/composer/InstalledVersions.php` and `vendor/composer/installed.php` do not include untrusted code. A reset can also be done on these files by the following:```sh rm vendor/composer/installed.php vendor/composer/InstalledVersions.php composer install --no-scripts --no-plugins ``` The CVRF data is provided by SUSE under the Creative Commons License 4.0 with Attribution (CC-BY-4.0). https://lists.suse.com/pipermail/sle-security-updates/2024-February/017994.html E-Mail link for SUSE-SU-2024:0592-1 https://www.suse.com/support/security/rating/ SUSE Security Ratings Container bci/php-apache:latest Container bci/php-fpm:latest Container bci/php:latest SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP4-ESPOS SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP4-LTSS SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Web and Scripting 15 SP5 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4-LTSS SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4-TERADATA SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Web and Scripting 15 SP5 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP4 SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Web and Scripting 15 SP5 SUSE Manager Server 4.3 openSUSE Leap 15.5 openSUSE Tumbleweed php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 php-composer2-2.7.1-1.1 php-composer2-2.8.9-160000.2.2 php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of Container bci/php-apache:latest php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of Container bci/php-fpm:latest php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of Container bci/php:latest php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP4-ESPOS php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise High Performance Computing 15 SP4-LTSS php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Module for Web and Scripting 15 SP5 php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4-LTSS php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 SP4-TERADATA php-composer2-2.8.9-160000.2.2 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 16.0 php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server for SAP Applications 15 SP4 php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of SUSE Manager Server 4.3 php-composer2-2.2.3-150400.3.9.1 as a component of openSUSE Leap 15.5 php-composer2-2.7.1-1.1 as a component of openSUSE Tumbleweed Composer is a dependency Manager for the PHP language.
