An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2012-6494 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2012-6494/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6494/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-6494","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6494/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-6494","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5fc9-38j2-22j4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Vulnerability Management Scanner","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can hijack user sessions via XSS to gain unauthorized access to the Rapid7 Nexpose web interface.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"nexpose","vendor":"rapid7"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Rapid7 Nexpose before 5.5.4 contains a session hijacking vulnerability which allows remote attackers to capture a user's session and gain unauthorized access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6494","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"MoinMoin Multiple vulnerable to directory traversal","id":"CVE-2012-6495"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6493"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-01-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Nexpose","id":"CVE-2017-5264","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-14"},{"cvss_score":8.7,"headline":"Rapid7 Nexpose Insufficient Session Management","id":"CVE-2019-5638","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-21"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Nexpose hardware appliance","id":"CVE-2017-5243","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-06-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Other in Nexpose","id":"CVE-2017-5232","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-02"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Nexpose","id":"CVE-2017-5230","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-02"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Unquoted Path in Rapid7 Nexpose Installer","id":"CVE-2020-7382","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-03"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6493","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-02-04"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can hijack user sessions via XSS to gain unauthorized access to the Rapid7 Nexpose web interface.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6494/"}
