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-2006-6838 exists.\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-2006-6838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-6838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6838/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-6838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-24x4-hpq6-x4j9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ActiveX control","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary files and steal sensitive data via a malicious URL in the Rediff Bol Downloader ActiveX control.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"bol_downloader_activex_ocx_control","vendor":"rediff"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Rediff Bol Downloader ActiveX (OCX) control allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary files, and obtain sensitive information (usernames and pathnames), via a URL in the url vbscript parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-12-31","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-12-31","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"3058","stars":null,"title":"Rediff Bol Downloader - ActiveX Control Execute Local File"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6839"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6837"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-01-03","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)"},{"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 execute arbitrary files and steal sensitive data via a malicious URL in the Rediff Bol Downloader ActiveX control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-6838/"}
