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-2009-3672 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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-2009-3672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-3672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-3672/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-3672","record":{"aliases":["CVE-2009-4054","GHSA-6cmv-j38v-h7wc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code in Internet Explorer by exploiting a memory corruption vulnerability in CSS handling via crafted HTML.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"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-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 6 and 7 does not properly handle objects in memory that (1) were not properly initialized or (2) are deleted, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors involving a call to the getElementsByTagName method for the STYLE tag name, selection of the single element in the returned list, and a change to the outerHTML property of this element, related to Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and mshtml.dll, aka \"HTML Object Memory Corruption Vulnerability.\" NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
