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-2008-4493 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-2008-4493/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4493/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4493","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4493/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4493","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-99f6-r2q3-8f37"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Microsoft Digital Image","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can force arbitrary file uploads via the PicturePusher ActiveX control in Microsoft Digital Image, requiring user interaction and specific browser settings.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"digital_image","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Microsoft PicturePusher ActiveX control (PipPPush.DLL 7.00.0709), as used in Microsoft Digital Image 2006 Starter Edition, allows remote attackers to force the upload of arbitrary files by using the AddString and Post methods and a modified PostURL to construct an HTTP POST request.
