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-2008-5712 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-2008-5712/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5712/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5712","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5712/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5712","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h8jh-g7wj-qxjv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"KDE Konqueror browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can crash KDE Konqueror by sending HTML with excessively long color attributes, requiring user interaction to view the malicious page.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"konqueror","vendor":"kde"}],"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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The HTML parser in KDE Konqueror 3.5.9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via (1) a long COLOR attribute in an HR element; or a long (a) BGCOLOR or (b) BORDERCOLOR attribute in a (2) TABLE, (3) TD, or (4) TR element.
