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-2012-4427 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2012-4427/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4427/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4427","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4427/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4427","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-4427","GHSA-gxj3-vwm6-2f7w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"GNOME Shell plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can force the download and installation of arbitrary extensions via a crafted web page, leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"gnome-shell","vendor":"gnome"}],"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-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"The gnome-shell plugin 3.4.1 in GNOME allows remote attackers to force the download and installation of arbitrary extensions from extensions.gnome.org via a crafted web page.","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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4427","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in openslp-dfsg","id":"CVE-2012-4428"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4426"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-10-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8288","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-27"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-7300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-25"},{"cvss_score":6.9,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4000","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-11-05"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in gnome-shell","id":"CVE-2021-3982","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-29"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7220","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-29"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7221","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-04-29"}],"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 force the download and installation of arbitrary extensions via a crafted web page, leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4427/"}
