An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-5992 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Wireless Lan Controller Software. 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-2012-5992/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5992/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-5992","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5992/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-5992","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-44pq-x8pr-ff7r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco Wireless LAN Controller","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can hijack administrator sessions to create admin accounts or inject XSS via CSRF on Cisco WLC devices.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"2000_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"2100_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"2500_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"4100_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"4400_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"5500_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"7500_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"8500_wireless_lan_controller","vendor":"cisco"},{"product":"wireless_lan_controller_software","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities on Cisco Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) devices with software 7.2.110.0 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) add administrative accounts via screens/aaa/mgmtuser_create.html or (2) insert XSS sequences via the headline parameter to screens/base/web_auth_custom.html, aka Bug ID CSCud50283.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2012-12-13","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2012-12-13","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"23361","stars":null,"title":"Cisco Wireless Lan Controller 7.2.110.0 - Multiple Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5992","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:wireless_lan_controller_software","products":["cisco:wireless_lan_controller_software"],"type":"csrf","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6007"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-5991"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-12-19","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-01"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1104","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-24"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1102","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-1103","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-01-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0368","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0369","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-03-01"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can hijack administrator sessions to create admin accounts or inject XSS via CSRF on Cisco WLC devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-5992/"}
