Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2001-1243 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Information Server. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1243/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1243/index.md)","id":"CVE-2001-1243","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1243/index.md","name":"CVE-2001-1243","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-385r-ghm4-jjf9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft IIS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can crash Microsoft IIS servers by exploiting Scripting.FileSystemObject with MS-DOS device names, causing denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_information_server","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"internet_information_services","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Scripting.FileSystemObject in asp.dll for Microsoft IIS 4.0 and 5.0 allows local or remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via (1) creating an ASP program that uses Scripting.FileSystemObject to open a file with an MS-DOS device name, or (2) remotely injecting the device name into ASP programs that internally use Scripting.FileSystemObject.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2001-07-04","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2001-07-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20989","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft IIS 4.0/5.0 - Device File Local Denial of Service"},{"date":"2001-07-04","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20991","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft IIS 4.0/5.0 - Device File Remote Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1243","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_information_server","products":["microsoft:internet_information_server","microsoft:internet_information_services"],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2001"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1244"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2001-1242"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2002-05-03","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0075","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-02-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Buffer overflow in fpcount.exe in IIS 4.0 with FrontPage Server Extensions allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands.","id":"CVE-1999-1376","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2001-09-12"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"By default, IIS 4.0 has a virtual directory /IISADMPWD which contains files that can be used as proxies for brute force password attacks, or","id":"CVE-1999-0407","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-06-02"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-3023","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-08-31"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1256","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-06-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0087","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-01-05"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can crash Microsoft IIS servers by exploiting Scripting.FileSystemObject with MS-DOS device names, causing denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2001-1243/"}
