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-2008-4696 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-2008-4696/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4696/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4696","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4696/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4696","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g928-9c86-8mr8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Opera browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the Opera browser's history database via crafted anchor identifiers, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"opera","vendor":"opera"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Opera.dll in Opera before 9.61 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the anchor identifier (aka the \"optional fragment\"), which is not properly escaped before storage in the History Search database (aka md.dat).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2008-10-22","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-10-22","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6801","stars":null,"title":"Opera 9.60 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting"},{"date":"2008-10-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"9944","stars":null,"title":"Opera 9.50/9.61 historysearch - Command Execution (Metasploit)"},{"date":"2008-10-23","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/multi/browser/opera_historysearch","stars":null,"title":"Opera historysearch XSS"},{"date":"2010-11-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16304","stars":null,"title":"Opera historysearch - Cross-Site Scripting (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4696","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":20,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4697"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4695"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4293","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-09-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-3079","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-09"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5679","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5178","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4794","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-30"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4695","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-23"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-1761","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-04-12"}],"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":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into the Opera browser's history database via crafted anchor identifiers, potentially leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4696/"}
