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-2008-4269 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2008-4269 is a high-severity code injection 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-2008-4269 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-2008-4269/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4269/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4269","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4269/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4269","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hjfr-hcjv-f23h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document exploiting a parsing flaw in the Windows search-ms protocol handler.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"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 search-ms protocol handler in Windows Explorer in Microsoft Windows Vista Gold and SP1 and Server 2008 uses untrusted parameter data obtained from incorrect parsing, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTML document, aka \"Windows Search Parsing 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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4269","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_server_2008","products":["microsoft:windows_server_2008","microsoft:windows_vista"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2008-4271"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4268"},"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 via a crafted HTML document exploiting a parsing flaw in the Windows search-ms protocol handler.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4269/"}
