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-2010-1240 exists.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Acrobat Reader. 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-2010-1240/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-1240/index.md)","id":"CVE-2010-1240","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2010-1240/index.md","name":"CVE-2010-1240","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r9c9-qvgh-48mx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can trick users into executing arbitrary local programs by manipulating the Launch File warning dialog in Adobe Reader.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"acrobat_reader","vendor":"adobe"}],"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-264","name":null}],"description":"Adobe Reader and Acrobat 9.x before 9.3.3, and 8.x before 8.2.3 on Windows and Mac OS X, do not restrict the contents of one text field in the Launch File warning dialog, which makes it easier for remote attackers to trick users into executing an arbitrary local program that was specified in a PDF document, as demonstrated by a text field that claims that the Open button will enable the user to read an encrypted message.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":3,"first_seen":"2010-03-29","github_poc":5,"max_poc_stars":71,"metasploit":2,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2021-06-05T18:59:28Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Jasmoon99/Embedded-PDF","stars":71,"title":"This demonstration video shows how we can control the victim's device by sending the innocent-looking PDF file to the target which actually consists of  embedded payload.
