It can be exploited over the network, 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-2008-0539 exists.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Ip Application Security Manager. 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-2008-0539/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0539/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0539","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0539/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0539","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p7q3-5c52-xg2j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 BIG-IP ASM","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the report_type parameter in F5 BIG-IP ASM, potentially compromising user sessions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_application_security_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"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":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in dms/policy/rep_request.php in F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager (ASM) 9.4.3 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the report_type parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-01-26","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-01-26","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"31065","stars":null,"title":"F5 BIG-IP Application Security Manager 9.4.3 - 'report_type' Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0539","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_application_security_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_application_security_manager"],"type":"xss","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0540"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0538"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-02-01","related":[{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Other in BIG-IP ASM","id":"CVE-2019-6665","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-27"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in BIG-IP ASM","id":"CVE-2019-6650","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-09-20"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"BIG-IP Advanced WAF/ASM BADoS vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-24326","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-02-05"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"BIG-IP HTTP/2 vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-55669","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-15"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4420","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP ASM/Advanced WAF","id":"CVE-2021-23010","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-10"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP APM","id":"CVE-2021-22985","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-12"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"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 web script or HTML via the report_type parameter in F5 BIG-IP ASM, potentially compromising user sessions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0539/"}
