An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2006-4973 exists.\n\nAffected product: Dnnsoftware Dotnetnuke. 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-2006-4973/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4973/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-4973","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4973/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-4973","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wf6r-xprx-6h97"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DotNetNuke CMS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary HTML via the error parameter in DotNetNuke, requiring user interaction to execute.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dotnetnuke","vendor":"dnnsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Default.aspx in Perpetual Motion Interactive Systems DotNetNuke before 3.3.5, and 4.x before 4.3.5, allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary HTML via the error parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-09-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-09-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"28615","stars":null,"title":"DotNetNuke 4.0 - HTML Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4973","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"dnnsoftware:dotnetnuke","products":["dnnsoftware:dotnetnuke"],"type":"xss","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4974"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-4972"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-09-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-9822","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-07-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2018-15811","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2018-18325","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"DNN Insufficient Access Control - Image Upload allows for Site Content Overwrite","id":"CVE-2025-64095","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"The installation wizard in DotNetNuke (DNN) allows privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2015-2794","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-06"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"DotNetNuke.Core Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Module Title","id":"CVE-2026-24838","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-27"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary HTML via the error parameter in DotNetNuke, requiring user interaction to execute.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-4973/"}
