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-2008-4924 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-2008-4924/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4924/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-4924","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4924/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-4924","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8prm-pqrh-8pxx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Barcode ActiveX control","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can overwrite arbitrary files via path traversal in the SaveAsBMP and SaveAsWMF methods of the MW6 Barcode ActiveX control.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"1d_barcode_decoder_activex","vendor":"mw6_technologies"}],"cvss":{"score":9,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Multiple insecure method vulnerabilities in MW6 Technologies 1D Barcode ActiveX control (BARCODELib.MW6Barcode, Barcode.dll) 3.0.0.1 allow remote attackers to overwrite arbitrary files via a full pathname argument to the (1) SaveAsBMP and (2) SaveAsWMF methods.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-10-29","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-10-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"6871","stars":null,"title":"MW6 Barcode - ActiveX 'Barcode.dll' Insecure Method"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4924","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4925"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4923"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-11-04","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":"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 overwrite arbitrary files via path traversal in the SaveAsBMP and SaveAsWMF methods of the MW6 Barcode ActiveX control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-4924/"}
