Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4582 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-2012-4582/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4582/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4582","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4582/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4582","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jx35-69vw-mrr7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email security gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can reset arbitrary administrative account passwords, leading to privilege escalation and account takeover in McAfee Email and Web Security.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"email_and_web_security","vendor":"mcafee"},{"product":"email_gateway","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"McAfee Email and Web Security (EWS) 5.x before 5.5 Patch 6 and 5.6 before Patch 3, and McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) 7.0 before Patch 1, allows remote authenticated users to reset the passwords of arbitrary administrative accounts 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":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4582","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4583"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4581"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-08-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4014","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-09-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4595","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-22"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4581","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-22"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4580","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-22"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4597","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-22"},{"cvss_score":4,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4583","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-22"}],"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":"Authenticated users can reset arbitrary administrative account passwords, leading to privilege escalation and account takeover in McAfee Email and Web Security.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4582/"}
