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-2005-2891 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2005-2891/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2891/index.md)","id":"CVE-2005-2891","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2891/index.md","name":"CVE-2005-2891","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9v5h-pjw2-wf2g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ActiveX control","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read or write arbitrary files via unsafe ActiveX methods, requiring user interaction to trigger the vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"webarchivex","vendor":"csystems"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"WebArchiveX.dll 5.5.0.76 installed before September 6th, 2005 is marked safe for scripting by default, which allows remote attackers to read or write to arbitrary files via the (1) MakeArchive or (2) MakeArchiveStr methods.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2891","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2005"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2892"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-2890"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2005-09-14","related":[],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read or write arbitrary files via unsafe ActiveX methods, requiring user interaction to trigger the vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2005-2891/"}
