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-2019-17497 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Pdf-Xchange Pdf-Xchange Editor. 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-2019-17497/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-17497/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-17497","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-17497/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-17497","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2pj4-mr9m-qwww"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PDF editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can steal NTLM hashes via crafted PDF files, exposing user credentials without interaction.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"pdf-xchange_editor","vendor":"pdf-xchange"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"Tracker PDF-XChange Editor before 8.0.330.0 has an NTLM SSO hash theft vulnerability using crafted FDF or XFDF files (a related issue to CVE-2018-4993).
