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-2008-3957 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-2008-3957/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3957/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-3957","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-3957/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-3957","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m2qj-j28g-pjh9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Image Acquisition","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can force arbitrary file downloads to client systems via malicious URLs in the Windows Image Acquisition Logger ActiveX control.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_image_acquisition_logger","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The Microsoft Windows Image Acquisition Logger ActiveX control allows remote attackers to force the download of arbitrary files onto a client system via a URL in the first argument to the Open method, in conjunction with a full destination pathname in the first argument to the Save method.
