An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-4388 exists.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2008-4388/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4388/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4388","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4388/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4388","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x2j6-7f76-j3jf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec AppStream Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via the LaunchObj ActiveX control in Symantec AppStream Client due to improper file validation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"appstream_client","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The LaunchObj ActiveX control before 5.2.2.865 in launcher.dll in Symantec AppStream Client 5.2.x before 5.2.2 SP3 MP1 does not properly validate downloaded files, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via the installAppMgr method and unspecified other methods.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2009-01-15","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-01-15","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/symantec_appstream_unsafe","stars":null,"title":"Symantec AppStream LaunchObj ActiveX Control Arbitrary File Download and Execute"},{"date":"2010-11-24","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16512","stars":null,"title":"Symantec AppStream LaunchObj - ActiveX Control Arbitrary File Download and Execute (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4388","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4389"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4387"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-01-20","related":[],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via the LaunchObj ActiveX control in Symantec AppStream Client due to improper file validation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4388/"}
