Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-2221 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Websphere Application Server. 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-2008-2221/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2221/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2221","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2221/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2221","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2fj5-qrfc-r9c5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WebSphere Application Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Untrusted Java applets can gain elevated privileges in IBM WebSphere Application Server, requiring user interaction to execute malicious code.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"websphere_application_server","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Java plugin in IBM WebSphere Application Server 5.0.2 allows untrusted applets to gain privileges via unknown attack vectors.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2221","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:websphere_application_server","products":["ibm:websphere_application_server"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2222"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2220"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-05-14","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0462","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1377","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-01-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-30"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1899","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1901","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-31"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Untrusted Java applets can gain elevated privileges in IBM WebSphere Application Server, requiring user interaction to execute malicious code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2221/"}
