Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4078 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Unified Computing System. 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-2012-4078/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4078/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4078","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4078/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4078","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wwrw-xchg-gfw3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco UCS BMC","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can bypass authentication steps in Cisco UCS BMC via SSH port forwarding, requiring vendor patches.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"unified_computing_system","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) in Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) does not properly handle SSH escape sequences, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass an unspecified authentication step via SSH port forwarding, aka Bug ID CSCtg17656.","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":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4078","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:unified_computing_system","products":["cisco:unified_computing_system"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4079"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4077"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-09-24","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Integrated Management Controller Argument Injection and Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20200","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Integrated Management Controller Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-20094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-04-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Integrated Management Controller Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-0430","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Integrated Management Controller Command Injection Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-0431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-05"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Command injection in Cisco Unified Computing System unknown","id":"CVE-2018-0338","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-06-07"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-6402","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-09-18"}],"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 authenticated users can bypass authentication steps in Cisco UCS BMC via SSH port forwarding, requiring vendor patches.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4078/"}
