An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-5520 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-2008-5520/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5520/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5520","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5520/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5520","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qx57-9wcq-8jq6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"AhnLab V3 Antivirus","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass malware detection in AhnLab V3 by disguising malicious HTML files with specific headers and extensions, requiring user interaction via Internet Explorer.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"v3_internet_security","vendor":"ahnlab"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"AhnLab V3 2008.12.4.1 and possibly 2008.9.13.0, when Internet Explorer 6 or 7 is used, allows remote attackers to bypass detection of malware in an HTML document by placing an MZ header (aka \"EXE info\") at the beginning, and modifying the filename to have (1) no extension, (2) a .txt extension, or (3) a .jpg extension, as demonstrated by a document containing a CVE-2006-5745 exploit.","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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5520","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5521"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5519"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2008-12-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-6060","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-20"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-3947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-24"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1433","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-21"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1434","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-21"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-21"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-21"}],"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 malware detection in AhnLab V3 by disguising malicious HTML files with specific headers and extensions, requiring user interaction via Internet Explorer.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5520/"}
