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-2017-12216 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco SocialMiner. 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-2017-12216/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12216/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-12216","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12216/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-12216","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8cxf-788q-xf3g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco SocialMiner","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can achieve code execution and file access via XXE in Cisco SocialMiner by tricking admins into importing malicious XML.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"socialminer","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"},{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the web-based user interface of Cisco SocialMiner could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to have read and write access to information stored in the affected system.
