An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4381 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mediawiki Mediawiki. 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-2012-4381/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4381/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4381","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4381/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4381","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-4381","GHSA-794f-724h-wf37"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MediaWiki","requires_auth":"none","summary":"MediaWiki stored passwords in cleartext, allowing attackers to obtain credentials via brute-force or use old passwords for non-existing accounts.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"hardcoded_credentials"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"mediawiki","vendor":"mediawiki"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-798","name":"Use of Hard-coded Credentials"}],"description":"MediaWiki before 1.18.5, and 1.19.x before 1.19.2 saves passwords in the local database, (1) which could make it easier for context-dependent attackers to obtain cleartext passwords via a brute-force attack or, (2) when an authentication plugin returns a false in the strict function, could allow remote attackers to use old passwords for non-existing accounts in an external authentication system via unspecified vectors.","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":"Hardcoded credentials in MediaWiki","id":"CVE-2012-4381","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mediawiki:mediawiki","products":["mediawiki:mediawiki"],"type":"hardcoded_credentials","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4382"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4380"},"products":["MediaWiki"],"published":"2020-02-08","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-37303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29904","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-29906","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28205","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28206","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-28209","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Business logic in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-36126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-07-02"}],"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":"MediaWiki stored passwords in cleartext, allowing attackers to obtain credentials via brute-force or use old passwords for non-existing accounts.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4381/"}
