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-2008-0838 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-2008-0838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-0838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0838/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-0838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8c29-j976-ghxr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email Security Appliance","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the login page of Sophos Email Security Appliances via error and go parameters.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"es1000","vendor":"sophos"},{"product":"es4000","vendor":"sophos"}],"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":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the web administration interface in Sophos ES1000 and ES4000 Email Security Appliance 2.1.0.0 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) error and (2) go parameters to the login page.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-02-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-02-15","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"31204","stars":null,"title":"Sophos Email Appliance 2.1 - Web Interface Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0838","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":8,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0839"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-0837"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-02-20","related":[{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3177","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-15"}],"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 into the login page of Sophos Email Security Appliances via error and go parameters.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-0838/"}
