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-2008-4300 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Information Services. 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-2008-4300/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4300/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4300","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4300/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4300","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h59h-44cg-5vq7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft IIS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash browsers via a long string in an IIS ActiveX control, requiring user interaction to visit a malicious page.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_information_services","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A certain ActiveX control in adsiis.dll in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (browser crash) via a long string in the second argument to the GetObject method.
