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-2012-2495 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client. 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-2012-2495/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2495/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2495","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2495/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2495","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jp4v-v2ww-7m2h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco AnyConnect Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can force a version downgrade of Cisco AnyConnect or Secure Desktop by offering older signed code via ActiveX or Java, bypassing security updates.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"anyconnect_secure_mobility_client","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"secure_desktop","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"The HostScan downloader implementation in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.x before 3.0 MR8 and Cisco Secure Desktop before 3.6.6020 does not compare the timestamp of offered software to the timestamp of installed software, which allows remote attackers to force a version downgrade by using (1) ActiveX or (2) Java components to offer signed code that corresponds to an older software release, aka Bug ID CSCtx74235.","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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2495","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:anyconnect_secure_mobility_client","products":["cisco:anyconnect_secure_mobility_client"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2496"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2494"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-06-20","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows DLL Hijacking","id":"CVE-2020-3433","kev_date_added":"2022-10-24","published":"2020-08-17"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows Uncontrolled Search Path","id":"CVE-2020-3153","kev_date_added":"2022-10-24","published":"2020-02-19"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-09-16"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-06-20"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2040","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-06-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Cisco Secure Client","id":"CVE-2023-20178","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows with VPN Posture (HostScan) Module DLL Hijacking Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-1366","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-02-17"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can force a version downgrade of Cisco AnyConnect or Secure Desktop by offering older signed code via ActiveX or Java, bypassing security updates.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2495/"}
