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-2012-5897 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-2012-5897/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5897/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5897","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5897/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5897","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q586-cx23-6hg5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Quest InTrust ActiveX","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can write or overwrite arbitrary files via the SaveToFile method in the ARDoc ActiveX control, requiring user interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"intrust","vendor":"quest"}],"cvss":{"score":9.3,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"The (1) SimpleTree and (2) ReportTree classes in the ARDoc ActiveX control (ARDoc.dll) in Quest InTrust 10.4.0.853 and earlier do not properly implement the SaveToFile method, which allows remote attackers to write or overwrite arbitrary files via the bstrFileName argument.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-03-28","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-03-28","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"18672","stars":null,"title":"Quest InTrust 10.4.x - ReportTree / SimpleTree Classes"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5897","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5898"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5896"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-11-17","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5896","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":"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 write or overwrite arbitrary files via the SaveToFile method in the ARDoc ActiveX control, requiring user interaction.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5897/"}
