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-2008-7172 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-2008-7172/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7172/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-7172","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7172/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-7172","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3985-49x3-qw6r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Lightweight news portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain administrator privileges by directly accessing admin.php actions without authentication in Lightweight news portal.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"lightweight_news_portal","vendor":"yanick_bourbeau"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Lightweight news portal (LNP) 1.0b does not properly restrict access to administrator functionality, which allows remote attackers to gain administrator privileges via direct requests to admin.php with the (1) potd_delete, (2) potd, (3) vote_update, (4) vote, or (5) modifynews actions.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2008-06-20","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2008-06-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"5873","stars":null,"title":"Lightweight news portal (LNP) 1.0b - Multiple Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7172","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2008"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7173"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7171"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-09-08","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-7171","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-09-08"}],"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 gain administrator privileges by directly accessing admin.php actions without authentication in Lightweight news portal.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-7172/"}
