An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5407 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-2008-5407/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5407/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5407","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5407/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5407","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-gv6g-6q5c-xwrm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Backup Exec remote-agent","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in the Backup Exec remote-agent logon process to read or delete files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"backup_exec_for_windows_server","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Backup Exec remote-agent logon process in Symantec Backup Exec for Windows Servers 11.0 (aka 11d) builds 6235 and 7170, 12.0 build 1364, and 12.5 build 2213 allow remote attackers to bypass authentication, and read or delete files, via unknown vectors.","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":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5407","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5408"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5406"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-02-29"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-12-09"},{"cvss_score":5.1,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-02-29"}],"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":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication in the Backup Exec remote-agent logon process to read or delete files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5407/"}
