High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions MyServer version 0.8.5

Description The issue arises from the order of function calls in server.cpp, where Process::setuid is called before Process::setgid, resulting in improper privilege dropping. This could potentially allow remote attackers to execute CGI programs with unintended privileges.

Recommendations For MyServer version 0.8.5, consider modifying the server.cpp to call Process::setgid before Process::setuid to properly drop privileges. As a temporary workaround, restrict access to CGI programs to minimize the risk of exploitation.
