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-2012-2496 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-2012-2496/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2496/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-2496","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2496/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-2496","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v4v3-hfpw-74cj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco AnyConnect Client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on 64-bit Linux systems via a crafted website exploiting the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client's WebLaunch feature.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"anyconnect_secure_mobility_client","vendor":"cisco"}],"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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A certain Java applet in the VPN downloader implementation in the WebLaunch feature in Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.x before 3.0 MR7 on 64-bit Linux platforms does not properly restrict use of Java components, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted web site, aka Bug ID CSCty45925.","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2496","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:anyconnect_secure_mobility_client","products":["cisco:anyconnect_secure_mobility_client"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2498"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2495"},"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on 64-bit Linux systems via a crafted website exploiting the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client's WebLaunch feature.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-2496/"}
