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-2009-4074 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2009-4074/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4074/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-4074","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4074/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-4074","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h53p-9rvc-mjwc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer browser","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass Internet Explorer 8's XSS filter to execute scripts on vulnerable websites, requiring user interaction to trigger the attack.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The XSS Filter in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 allows remote attackers to leverage the \"response-changing mechanism\" to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks against web sites that have no inherent XSS vulnerabilities, related to the details of output encoding and improper modification of an HTML attribute, aka \"XSS Filter Script Handling Vulnerability.\"","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4074","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"xss","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4075"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-4073"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-11-25","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"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":"Remote attackers can bypass Internet Explorer 8's XSS filter to execute scripts on vulnerable websites, requiring user interaction to trigger the attack.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-4074/"}
