Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-12879 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-2017-12879/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12879/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-12879","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12879/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-12879","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r28x-g73f-m6g3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network monitoring software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary scripts into the devices or sensors view, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"prtg_network_monitor","vendor":"paessler"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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":"Cross-site scripting (XSS-STORED) vulnerability in the DEVICES OR SENSORS functionality in Paessler PRTG Network Monitor before 17.3.33.2654 allows authenticated remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML.","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-2017-12879","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Spring Batch Admin vulnerable to Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) in the file upload functionality","id":"CVE-2017-12881"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-12877"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-08-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Paessler PRTG Network Monitor Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2018-19410","kev_date_added":"2025-02-04","published":"2018-11-21"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Paessler PRTG Network Monitor OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2018-9276","kev_date_added":"2025-02-04","published":"2018-07-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Paessler PRTG Network Monitor Cross-Site Scripting Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-51630","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31452","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19411","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19204","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-12"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary scripts into the devices or sensors view, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-12879/"}
