An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-5491 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- plone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.2.3, 4.3b1\n- plone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.2.3\n- plone (PyPI): affected from 4.3a0; fixed in 4.3b1\n- Plone (PyPI): affected all versions; fixed in 4.2.3\n- Plone (PyPI): affected from 4.3a0; fixed in 4.3b1\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-2012-5491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5491/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5491/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f8pg-wp5j-rjxx","PYSEC-2014-33"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Python form library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can obtain default form field values in z3c.form by knowing the form location and element ID, potentially exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"plone","vendor":"plone"}],"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-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"z3c.form, as used in Plone before 4.2.3 and 4.3 before beta 1, allows remote attackers to obtain the default form field values by leveraging knowledge of the form location and the element id.","ecosystems":["PyPI"],"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":"Plone Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2012-5491","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"PyPI","product":"plone:plone","products":["plone:plone"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2012"},"n_packages":5,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Plone Metadata Disclosure","id":"CVE-2012-5492"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.2.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Plone","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-f8pg-wp5j-rjxx"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.3b1"],"introduced":["4.3a0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"Plone","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-f8pg-wp5j-rjxx"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.2.3","4.3b1"],"introduced":["0","4.3a0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"plone","purl":"pkg:pypi/plone","source":"PYSEC-2014-33"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.2.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"plone","purl":"pkg:pypi/plone","source":"GHSA-f8pg-wp5j-rjxx"},{"ecosystem":"PyPI","fixed":["4.3b1"],"introduced":["4.3a0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"plone","purl":"pkg:pypi/plone","source":"GHSA-f8pg-wp5j-rjxx"}],"prev":{"headline":"Plone Cross-site scripting Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2012-5490"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2014-09-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource in Plone","id":"CVE-2021-33509","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-35190","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Plone Unauthenticated Write Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-7941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-23"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Zope Command Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2011-3587","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-10-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Server-Side Request Forgery in Plone CMS","id":"CVE-2021-33926","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference in Plone","id":"CVE-2020-28734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SSRF attacks via tracebacks in Plone","id":"CVE-2020-28735","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-12-30"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"PyPA Advisory Database","prefix":"PYSEC"},{"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 obtain default form field values in z3c.form by knowing the form location and element ID, potentially exposing sensitive data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5491/"}
