Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4596 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-2012-4596/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4596/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4596","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4596/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4596","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-6376-pj7v-fcpq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email Gateway","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can download arbitrary files from McAfee Email Gateway via crafted URLs, exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"email_gateway","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in McAfee Email Gateway (MEG) 7.0.0 and 7.0.1 allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended access restrictions and download arbitrary files via a crafted URL.","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":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4596","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4597"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4595"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-08-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7103","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-12-14"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-12-14"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-6349","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-11-02"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"File upload in McAfee Email Gateway (MEG)","id":"CVE-2016-8005","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-14"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7092","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-12-13"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-2116","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-05-28"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3969","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-04-06"}],"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 attackers can download arbitrary files from McAfee Email Gateway via crafted URLs, exposing sensitive data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4596/"}
