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-2008-4787 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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-2008-4787/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4787/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4787","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4787/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4787","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wjcf-x5xh-gf27"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can spoof the address bar in Internet Explorer 6 by using URLs with non-breaking space sequences, requiring user interaction to view the malicious link.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Visual truncation vulnerability in Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 allows remote attackers to spoof the address bar via a URL with a hostname containing many \u0026nbsp; (Non-Blocking Space character) sequences, which are rendered as whitespace, aka MSRC ticket MSRC7899, a related issue to CVE-2003-1025.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-10-27","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-10-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32539","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 - '\u0026NBSP;' Address Bar URI Spoofing"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4787","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"other","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4788"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4786"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-10-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"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 spoof the address bar in Internet Explorer 6 by using URLs with non-breaking space sequences, requiring user interaction to view the malicious link.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4787/"}
