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-2008-4197 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Opera Opera Browser. 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-2008-4197/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4197/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4197","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4197/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4197","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5854-w8p6-9244"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Opera browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"User-assisted attackers can execute arbitrary code via uninitialized memory in Opera browser shortcut processing.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"opera_browser","vendor":"opera"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-908","name":"Use of Uninitialized Resource"}],"description":"Opera before 9.52 on Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris, when processing custom shortcut and menu commands, can produce argument strings that contain uninitialized memory, which might allow user-assisted remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or conduct other attacks via vectors related to activation of a shortcut.","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":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4197","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"opera:opera_browser","products":["opera:opera_browser"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4198"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4196"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-09-27","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 12.15 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to a \"moderately severe issue.\"","id":"CVE-2013-3211","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-04-19"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4145","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3559","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-06-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3561","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-06-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 11.60 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to a \"moderately severe issue.\"","id":"CVE-2011-4683","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-12-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-4684","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-12-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in Opera before 11.50 has unknown impact and attack vectors, related to a \"moderately severe issue.\"","id":"CVE-2011-2610","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-07-01"}],"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":"User-assisted attackers can execute arbitrary code via uninitialized memory in Opera browser shortcut processing.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4197/"}
