It can be exploited over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-4301 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-2008-4301/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4301/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4301","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4301/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4301","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6x8c-j743-7x28"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IIS ActiveX control","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"A disputed vulnerability in an IIS ActiveX control allegedly allowed remote password setting, but the issue is considered erroneous and unreproducible.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_information_services","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A certain ActiveX control in iisext.dll in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) allows remote attackers to set a password via a string argument to the SetPassword method.
