An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-2809 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mozilla Firefox. 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-2008-2809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-2809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2809/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-2809","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2007-6590","GHSA-pxqv-4rrp-wmpm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mozilla web browsers","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can spoof websites by tricking users into accepting SSL certificates valid for different domains due to improper subjectAltName handling.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"geckb","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"seamonkey","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"navigator","vendor":"netscape"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Mozilla 1.9 M8 and earlier, Mozilla Firefox 2 before 2.0.0.15, SeaMonkey 1.1.5 and other versions before 1.1.10, Netscape 9.0, and other Mozilla-based web browsers, when a user accepts an SSL server certificate on the basis of the CN domain name in the DN field, regard the certificate as also accepted for all domain names in subjectAltName:dNSName fields, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick a user into accepting an invalid certificate for a spoofed web site.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2809","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mozilla:firefox","products":["mozilla:firefox","mozilla:seamonkey"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":63,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2810"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2808"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-07-08","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird Sandbox Escape","id":"CVE-2019-11708","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Multiple Products Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2010-3765","kev_date_added":"2025-10-06","published":"2010-10-27"},{"cvss_score":9.6,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2022-26486","kev_date_added":"2022-03-07","published":"2022-12-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2022-26485","kev_date_added":"2022-03-07","published":"2022-12-22"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2019-11707","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-07-23"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox And Thunderbird Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2020-6819","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-24"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox And Thunderbird Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2020-6820","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-24"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can spoof websites by tricking users into accepting SSL certificates valid for different domains due to improper subjectAltName handling.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-2809/"}
