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-2012-3992 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Canonical Ubuntu 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-2012-3992/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3992/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-3992","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3992/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-3992","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6x5v-cwgm-x5w9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mozilla Firefox","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-site scripting attacks or steal sensitive POST data via history navigation flaws in Mozilla browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ubuntu_linux","vendor":"canonical"},{"product":"firefox","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"seamonkey","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"thunderbird_esr","vendor":"mozilla"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_eus","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_desktop","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_sdk","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_server","vendor":"suse"}],"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-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Mozilla Firefox before 16.0, Firefox ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, Thunderbird before 16.0, Thunderbird ESR 10.x before 10.0.8, and SeaMonkey before 2.13 do not properly manage history data, which allows remote attackers to conduct cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks or obtain sensitive POST content via vectors involving a location.hash write operation and history navigation that triggers the loading of a URL into the history object.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3992","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"canonical:ubuntu_linux","products":["canonical:ubuntu_linux","mozilla:firefox","mozilla:seamonkey","mozilla:thunderbird","mozilla:thunderbird_esr","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_eus","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation","suse:linux_enterprise_desktop","suse:linux_enterprise_server"],"type":"xss","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":15,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3993"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3991"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SaltStack Salt Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2020-11651","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-04-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"OpenSMTPD Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2020-7247","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2020-01-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Out-of-bounds Write","id":"CVE-2019-16928","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2019-09-27"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Exim Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2018-6789","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2018-02-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE and Java SE Embedded Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2590","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2015-07-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle JRE Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2013-0422","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2013-01-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Oracle Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2011-3544","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2011-10-19"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute cross-site scripting attacks or steal sensitive POST data via history navigation flaws in Mozilla browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-3992/"}
