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-2017-11516 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- yiisoft/yii2 (Packagist): affected from 2.0.12; fixed in 2.0.13\n- yiisoft/yii2 (Packagist): affected from 2.0.12; fixed in 2.0.13\n- yiisoft/yii2-dev (Packagist): affected from 2.0.12; fixed in 2.0.13\n- yiisoft/yii2-dev (Packagist): affected from 2.0.12; fixed in 2.0.13\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-2017-11516/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11516/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-11516","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11516/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-11516","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4c64-w8fg-xcq2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Yii Framework","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting in Yii Framework error handler allows code execution when debug mode is enabled.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"yii","vendor":"yiiframework"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"An XSS vulnerability exists in framework/views/errorHandler/exception.php in Yii Framework 2.0.12 affecting the exception screen when debug mode is enabled, because $exception-\u003eerrorInfo is mishandled.","ecosystems":["Packagist"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Yii Cross-site Scripting Framework vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-11516","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Packagist","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11517"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.0.13"],"introduced":["2.0.12"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yiisoft/yii2","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4c64-w8fg-xcq2"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.0.13"],"introduced":["2.0.12"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yiisoft/yii2","purl":"pkg:composer/yiisoft/yii2","source":"GHSA-4c64-w8fg-xcq2"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.0.13"],"introduced":["2.0.12"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yiisoft/yii2-dev","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4c64-w8fg-xcq2"},{"ecosystem":"Packagist","fixed":["2.0.13"],"introduced":["2.0.12"],"last_affected":[],"package":"yiisoft/yii2-dev","purl":"pkg:composer/yiisoft/yii2-dev","source":"GHSA-4c64-w8fg-xcq2"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in ManageEngine ServiceDesk","id":"CVE-2017-11512"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-07-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Yiiframework Yii Improper Protection of Alternate Path","id":"CVE-2024-58136","kev_date_added":"2025-05-02","published":"2025-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Yii2 allows attackers to execute any local .php file via a relative path in the view parameter","id":"CVE-2015-5467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-26750","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Yii SQL injection vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-7269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"yii2-redis Potential Remote code execution","id":"CVE-2018-8073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-21"},{"cvss_score":8.9,"headline":"Unsafe deserialization in Yii 2","id":"CVE-2020-15148","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-15"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Unsafe Reflection in base Component class in yiisoft/yii2","id":"CVE-2024-4990","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-03-20"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Cross-site scripting in Yii Framework error handler allows code execution when debug mode is enabled.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11516/"}
