An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2004-0979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Ie. 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-2004-0979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2004-0979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0979/index.md","name":"CVE-2004-0979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4w63-xccq-vfcg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Internet Explorer fails to enforce drag-and-drop restrictions, allowing attackers to bypass security settings and perform sensitive file operations.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ie","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_xp","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Internet Explorer on Windows XP does not properly modify the \"Drag and Drop or copy and paste files\" setting when the user sets it to \"Disable\" or \"Prompt,\" which may enable security-sensitive operations that are inconsistent with the user's intended configuration.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:ie","products":["microsoft:ie","microsoft:internet_explorer","microsoft:windows_xp"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2004"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0978"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2004-10-21","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0217","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0219","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-04-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0216","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-10-16"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2004-0420","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-04-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-1027","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-01-08"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Internet Explorer fails to enforce drag-and-drop restrictions, allowing attackers to bypass security settings and perform sensitive file operations.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2004-0979/"}
