CVE-2002-2221
Untrusted search path vulnerability in Pedro Lineu Orso chetcpasswd 2.4.1 and earlier allows local users to gain privileges via a modified PATH that references a malicious cp binary.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.29%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
