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-2012-2237 exists.\n\nAffected product: Debian Debian Linux. 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-2012-2237/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2237/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2237","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2237/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2237","record":{"aliases":["DSA-2540-1","GHSA-w8q2-462v-r883"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mahara ePortfolio","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via login forms, links, resources, or user profiles in Mahara.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"debian","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"mahara","vendor":"mahara"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Mahara 1.4.x before 1.4.3 and 1.5.x before 1.5.2 allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via vectors related to (1) javascript innerHTML as used when generating login forms, (2) links or (3) resources URLs, and (4) the Display name in a user profile.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-08-02","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-08-02","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37565","stars":null,"title":"Mahara 1.4.1 - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting / HTML Injection Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Mahara","id":"CVE-2012-2237","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","mahara:mahara"],"type":"xss","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"trytond Incorrect Authorization vulnerability","id":"CVE-2012-2238"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2236"},"products":["Mahara"],"published":"2019-11-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"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":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["Mahara"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via login forms, links, resources, or user profiles in Mahara.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2237/"}
