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-2007-6506 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-2007-6506/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-6506/index.md)","id":"CVE-2007-6506","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-6506/index.md","name":"CVE-2007-6506","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-29mh-h3mm-7r6h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HP Software Update","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can overwrite or read arbitrary files via ActiveX methods in HP Software Update, requiring user interaction to visit a malicious site.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"software_update","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The HPRulesEngine.ContentCollection.1 ActiveX Control in RulesEngine.dll for HP Software Update 4.000.005.007 and earlier, including 3.0.8.4, allows remote attackers to (1) overwrite and corrupt arbitrary files via arguments to the SaveToFile method, and possibly (2) access arbitrary files via the LoadDataFromFile method.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2007-12-19","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2007-12-19","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"4757","stars":null,"title":"HP Software Update Client 3.0.8.4 - Multiple Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6506","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2007"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":13,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6507"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6505"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2007-12-20","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2390","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-05-21"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0712","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-25"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5442","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-09-29"}],"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 overwrite or read arbitrary files via ActiveX methods in HP Software Update, requiring user interaction to visit a malicious site.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2007-6506/"}
