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-2006-3456 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Norton Antivirus. 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-2006-3456/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-3456/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-3456","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-3456/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-3456","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2w73-8453-mgjq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Norton AntiVirus ActiveX","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or crash the browser via a vulnerable Symantec ActiveX control in Internet Explorer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"norton_antivirus","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_internet_security","vendor":"symantec"},{"product":"norton_system_works","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The Symantec NAVOPTS.DLL ActiveX control (aka Symantec.Norton.AntiVirus.NAVOptions) 12.2.0.13, as used in Norton AntiVirus, Internet Security, and System Works 2005 and 2006, is designed for use only in application-embedded web browsers, which allows remote attackers to \"crash the control\" via unspecified vectors related to content on a web site, and place Internet Explorer into a \"defunct state\" in which remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in addition to other Symantec ActiveX controls, regardless of whether they are marked safe for scripting.
