An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2008-6542 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dnnsoftware Dotnetnuke. 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-2008-6542/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6542/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-6542","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6542/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-6542","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5mw6-9457-8h48"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"DotNetNuke CMS","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated administrators can execute arbitrary code by uploading malicious HTML files that are processed as dynamic scripts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"dotnetnuke","vendor":"dnnsoftware"}],"cvss":{"score":4.6,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:H/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Unspecified vulnerability in the Skin Manager in DotNetNuke before 4.8.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to perform \"server-side execution of application logic\" by uploading a static file that is converted into a dynamic script via unknown vectors related to HTM or HTML files.","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":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6542","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"dnnsoftware:dotnetnuke","products":["dnnsoftware:dotnetnuke"],"type":"file_upload","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6543"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6541"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-03-30","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-9822","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-07-20"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2018-15811","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"DotNetNuke (DNN) Inadequate Encryption Strength","id":"CVE-2018-18325","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2019-07-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"DNN Insufficient Access Control - Image Upload allows for Site Content Overwrite","id":"CVE-2025-64095","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-28"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"The installation wizard in DotNetNuke (DNN) allows privilege escalation","id":"CVE-2015-2794","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-06"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"DotNetNuke.Core Vulnerable to Stored XSS via Module Title","id":"CVE-2026-24838","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-27"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated administrators can execute arbitrary code by uploading malicious HTML files that are processed as dynamic scripts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-6542/"}
