An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2008-4268 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2008-4268 is a high-severity use after free vulnerability in Microsoft Windows Server 2008, published on 10 Dec 2008. 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-2008-4268 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows Server 2008. 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-2008-4268/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4268/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4268","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4268/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4268","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vgvc-r466-8v67"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Search component","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted saved-search file in Windows Search.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"use_after_free"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_server_2008","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_vista","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The Windows Search component in Microsoft Windows Vista Gold and SP1 and Server 2008 does not properly free memory during a save operation for a Windows Search file, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted saved-search file, aka \"Windows Saved Search Vulnerability.\"","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":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4268","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_server_2008","products":["microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_vista"],"type":"use_after_free","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4269"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2008-4267"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-10","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Microsoft Windows DNS Server Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-1350","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Microsoft Hyper-V RemoteFX vGPU Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-1040","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1966","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-08-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0239","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0240","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-0241","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-02-10"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-2505","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-12-09"}],"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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by tricking users into opening a crafted saved-search file in Windows Search.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4268/"}
