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-2012-0161 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft .Net Framework. 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-2012-0161/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0161/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-0161","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0161/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-0161","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-245h-pqqx-gc7r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":".NET Framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted XAML or .NET applications exploiting improper exception handling in serialization.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":".net_framework","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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Microsoft .NET Framework 1.0 SP3, 1.1 SP1, 2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1, 3.5.1, and 4 does not properly handle an unspecified exception during use of partially trusted assemblies to serialize input data, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted XAML browser application (aka XBAP) or (2) a crafted .NET Framework application, aka \".NET Framework Serialization 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":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0161","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:.net_framework","products":["microsoft:.net_framework"],"type":"deserialization","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0162"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0160"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-05-09","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft .NET Framework Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-0646","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-01-14"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft .NET Framework Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8759","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2017-09-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-1671","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-05-13"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Microsoft .NET Framework Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2024-29059","kev_date_added":"2025-02-04","published":"2024-03-22"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-4121","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-10-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1806","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-05-14"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via crafted XAML or .NET applications exploiting improper exception handling in serialization.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-0161/"}
