Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, 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-2012-4234 exists.\n\nAffected product: Phorum Phorum. 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-2012-4234/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4234/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4234","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4234/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4234","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h9w3-3v6q-p98r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Phorum web forum","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the group parameter in the Phorum control center, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"phorum","vendor":"phorum"}],"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":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the group moderation screen in the control center (control.php) in Phorum before 5.2.19 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the group parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-08-29","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-08-29","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"37683","stars":null,"title":"Phorum 5.2.18 - Multiple Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4234","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"phorum:phorum","products":["phorum:phorum"],"type":"xss","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4235"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4233"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-09-04","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-1487","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2003-1466","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-10-24"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2338","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2339","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-04-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-6550","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-12-14"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-06-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-3053","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2006-06-16"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the group parameter in the Phorum control center, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4234/"}
