An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-5185 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-2008-5185/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5185/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5185","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5185/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5185","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2008-5185","GHSA-mc42-h89m-gwgp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PHP syntax highlighting library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can cause a denial of service via infinite loop in GeSHi library by submitting malformed XML sequences.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"geshi","vendor":"geshi"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"The highlighting functionality in geshi.php in GeSHi before 1.0.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via an XML sequence containing an opening delimiter without a closing delimiter, as demonstrated using \"\u003c\".","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-11-20","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-11-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"32596","stars":null,"title":"GeSHi 1.0.x - XML Parsing Remote Denial of Service"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5185","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5186"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5184"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-11-21","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-11-21"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2005-3080","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2005-09-27"}],"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":"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 cause a denial of service via infinite loop in GeSHi library by submitting malformed XML sequences.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5185/"}
