It can be exploited over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-4840 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-2012-4840/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4840/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-4840","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4840/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-4840","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-w6p2-83wm-qwh2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Cognos BI","requires_auth":"unknown","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via XPath injection in IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"cognos_business_intelligence","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-94","name":"Improper Control of Generation of Code"}],"description":"IBM Cognos Business Intelligence (BI) 8.4.1 before IF1, 10.1 before IF2, 10.1.1 before IF2, and 10.2 before IF1 allows remote attackers to conduct XPath injection attacks, and call XPath extension functions, 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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4840","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4841"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4839"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-4858","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-03-02"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Cognos Business Intelligence","id":"CVE-2016-8960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-27"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in Cognos TM1","id":"CVE-2016-3036","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-17"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"Information disclosure in Cognos Business Intelligence","id":"CVE-2017-1764","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-23"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"XML external entity in Cognos Business Intelligence","id":"CVE-2016-0254","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-07"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Cognos Business Intelligence","id":"CVE-2017-1486","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-23"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"Information disclosure in Cognos TM1","id":"CVE-2016-3037","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-17"}],"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 execute arbitrary code via XPath injection in IBM Cognos Business Intelligence, requiring immediate patching.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-4840/"}
