An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2012-5851 exists.\n\nAffected product: Apple Safari. 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-2012-5851/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5851/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5851","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5851/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5851","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xqrw-qq76-h9pm","UBUNTU-CVE-2012-5851"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WebKit XSS filter","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass the WebKit XSS filter via crafted strings, enabling cross-site scripting attacks in Chrome and Safari.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"safari","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"webkit","vendor":"apple"},{"product":"chrome","vendor":"google"}],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"html/parser/XSSAuditor.cpp in WebCore in WebKit, as used in Google Chrome through 22 and Safari 5.1.7, does not consider all possible output contexts of reflected data, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass a cross-site scripting (XSS) protection mechanism via a crafted string, aka rdar problem 12019108.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-07-19","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-07-19","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"38024","stars":null,"title":"WebKit Cross-Site Scripting Filter - 'Cross-Site ScriptingAuditor.cpp' Security Bypass"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5851","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:safari","products":["apple:safari","apple:webkit","google:chrome"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5853"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5849"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-11-15","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5780","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-10-09"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1300","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-1303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-26"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-1120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2010-03-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-0137","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-02-13"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2303","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-2843","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-05-24"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass the WebKit XSS filter via crafted strings, enabling cross-site scripting attacks in Chrome and Safari.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5851/"}
