It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-4540 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2008-4540/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4540/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4540","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4540/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4540","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4hj6-hvcv-72r5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Mobile OS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Physically proximate attackers can bypass WLAN authentication and obtain network access by exploiting password auto-completion on HTC Hermes devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_mobile","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":2.1,"severity":"low","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"Windows Mobile 6 on the HTC Hermes device makes WLAN passwords available to an auto-completion mechanism for the password input field, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass password authentication and obtain WLAN access.","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":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4540","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4541"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4539"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-13","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0244","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-01-21"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Unspecified vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer on Windows Mobile 5.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loss of","id":"CVE-2007-0878","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-12"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0674","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-03"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4295","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-27"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5460","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-15"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-18"},{"cvss_score":2.6,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-0685","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-02-03"}],"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":"Physically proximate attackers can bypass WLAN authentication and obtain network access by exploiting password auto-completion on HTC Hermes devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4540/"}
