An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-2162 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Websphere Application Server. 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-2012-2162/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2162/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2162","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2162/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2162","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-79xx-9qmj-6mhv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WebSphere Web Server Plug-in","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can intercept sensitive data or spoof servers via man-in-the-middle attacks due to unencrypted HTTP communication after plugin-key expiration.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"websphere_application_server","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"The Web Server Plug-in in IBM WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 8.0 and earlier uses unencrypted HTTP communication after expiration of the plugin-key.kdb password, which allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information by sniffing the network, or spoof arbitrary servers via a man-in-the-middle attack.","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":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2162","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:websphere_application_server","products":["ibm:websphere_application_server"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2163"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2161"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-05-01","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1920","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-05-20"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-0462","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-27"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-1377","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-01-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-3186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-08-30"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1899","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1901","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-06-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-1172","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-03-31"}],"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 intercept sensitive data or spoof servers via man-in-the-middle attacks due to unencrypted HTTP communication after plugin-key expiration.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2162/"}
