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-2008-4050 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-2008-4050/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4050/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4050","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4050/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4050","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cq8w-h669-78g5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PPPoE client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files and registry values via a vulnerable ActiveX control in the FriendlyPPPoE Client.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"friendly_pppoe_client","vendor":"friendly_technologies"}],"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":"A certain ActiveX control in fwRemoteCfg.dll 3.3.3.1 in Friendly Technologies FriendlyPPPoE Client 3.0.0.57 allows remote attackers to (1) create and read arbitrary registry values via the RegistryValue method, and (2) read arbitrary files via the GetTextFile method.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-08-30","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-08-30","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6334","stars":null,"title":"Friendly Technologies - Read/Write Registry/Read Files"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4050","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4051"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4049"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-09-11","related":[{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4048","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-11"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4049","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-11"}],"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 read arbitrary files and registry values via a vulnerable ActiveX control in the FriendlyPPPoE Client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4050/"}
