Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4731 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-2012-4731/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4731/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4731","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4731/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4731","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2012-4731","DSA-2568-1","GHSA-8fxh-jgx8-hfm7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"RTFM FAQ manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated users can bypass rights checks to create arbitrary articles in any class within the RTFM FAQ manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"rtfm","vendor":"bestpractical"}],"cvss":{"score":4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"FAQ manager for Request Tracker (RTFM) before 2.4.5 does not properly check user rights, which allows remote authenticated users to create arbitrary articles in arbitrary classes via unknown 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":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4731","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4732"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4730"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-11-11","related":[],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated users can bypass rights checks to create arbitrary articles in any class within the RTFM FAQ manager.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4731/"}
