An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-2279 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-2008-2279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2279/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2279","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hvg2-8pwh-h9jh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Freelance Auction Script","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can read plaintext passwords from the database to gain unauthorized access and escalate privileges in Freelance Auction Script.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freelance_auction_script","vendor":"freelance_auction"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"Freelance Auction Script 1.0 stores user passwords in plaintext in the tbl_users table, which allows attackers to gain privileges by reading the table.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-05-14","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-05-14","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"5613","stars":null,"title":"Freelance Auction Script 1.0 - 'browseproject.php' SQL Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2279","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2280"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2278"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-05-16","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":"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":"Attackers can read plaintext passwords from the database to gain unauthorized access and escalate privileges in Freelance Auction Script.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2279/"}
