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-2012-6606 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-2012-6606/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6606/index.md)","id":"CVE-2012-6606","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6606/index.md","name":"CVE-2012-6606","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j4r7-wx6h-r3mw"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VPN client","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can spoof portal servers and obtain sensitive information because the client fails to verify X.509 certificates.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"globalprotect","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"},{"product":"netconnect","vendor":"paloaltonetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":5.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-310","name":null}],"description":"Palo Alto Networks GlobalProtect before 1.1.7, and NetConnect, does not verify X.509 certificates from SSL servers, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to spoof portal servers and obtain sensitive information via a crafted certificate.","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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6606","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2012"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6607"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6605"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2013-08-31","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"GlobalProtect: Authenticated Code Injection Through Wildcard on macOS","id":"CVE-2025-4232","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-06-12"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Buffer Overflow Vulnerability When Connecting to Portal or Gateway","id":"CVE-2021-3057","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-13"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Local Privilege Escalation (PE) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-0009","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-06-14"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Privilege Escalation Vulnerability When Using Connect Before Logon","id":"CVE-2022-0016","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-10"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Local Privilege Escalation (PE) Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-0120","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-11"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation in GlobalProtect Agent for Linux and OSX","id":"CVE-2019-17436","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-16"},{"cvss_score":7,"headline":"GlobalProtect App: Improper Link Resolution Vulnerability Leads to Local Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2022-0017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-10"}],"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":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can spoof portal servers and obtain sensitive information because the client fails to verify X.509 certificates.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2012-6606/"}
