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-2011-2217 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-2011-2217/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2217/index.md)","id":"CVE-2011-2217","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2217/index.md","name":"CVE-2011-2217","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pmh8-qf2w-qvjq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Infrastructure Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted HTML documents exploiting ActiveX controls in VMware Infrastructure Client.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"get_extension_factory","vendor":"tomsawyer"},{"product":"infrastructure","vendor":"vmware"},{"product":"virtual_infrastructure_client","vendor":"vmware"}],"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-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"Certain ActiveX controls in (1) tsgetxu71ex552.dll and (2) tsgetx71ex552.dll in Tom Sawyer GET Extension Factory 5.5.2.237, as used in VI Client (aka VMware Infrastructure Client) 2.0.2 before Build 230598 and 2.5 before Build 204931 in VMware Infrastructure 3, do not properly handle attempted initialization within Internet Explorer, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted HTML document.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2011-05-03","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2011-05-03","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/tom_sawyer_tsgetx71ex552","stars":null,"title":"Tom Sawyer Software GET Extension Factory Remote Code Execution"},{"date":"2012-06-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"19030","stars":null,"title":"Tom Sawyer Software GET Extension Factory - Remote Code Execution (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2217","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2011"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2218"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2216"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2011-06-06","related":[],"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":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted HTML documents exploiting ActiveX controls in VMware Infrastructure Client.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2011-2217/"}
