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-2012-5896 exists.\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-2012-5896/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5896/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5896","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5896/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5896","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5hpc-qgc3-79p9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Quest InTrust ActiveX","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a malicious ActiveX control in Quest InTrust, requiring user interaction to trigger the vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"intrust","vendor":"quest"}],"cvss":{"score":10,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The Annotation Objects Extension ActiveX control in AnnotateX.dll in Quest InTrust 10.4.0.853 and earlier does not properly implement the Add method, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a memory address in the first argument, related to an \"uninitialized pointer.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2012-03-28","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-03-28","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"18674","stars":null,"title":"Quest InTrust 10.4.x - Annotation Objects ActiveX Control 'AnnotateX.dll' Uninitialized Pointer Remote Code Execution"},{"date":"2012-03-28","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/intrust_annotatex_add","stars":null,"title":"Quest InTrust Annotation Objects Uninitialized Pointer"},{"date":"2012-04-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"18735","stars":null,"title":"Quest InTrust - Annotation Objects Uninitialized Pointer (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5896","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":9,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5897"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in iRODS before 3.1 have unknown impact and attack vectors.","id":"CVE-2012-5895"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-11-17","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-11-17"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"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 execute arbitrary code via a malicious ActiveX control in Quest InTrust, requiring user interaction to trigger the vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5896/"}
