Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-0708 is a remote code execution issue in an IBM Rational ClearQuest ActiveX control. A user with a vulnerable ClearQuest component could be compromised by visiting a crafted web page. This is mainly a legacy client-side exposure, not a general internet-facing server issue based on the provided sources. Exposure is most likely where IBM Rational ClearQuest 7.1.1, 7.1.2, or 8.0.0 client components are installed and browser-based ActiveX execution is possible. Organizations without ClearQuest or without the CQOle ActiveX control installed are unlikely to be exposed. Prioritize remediation for environments that still run legacy ClearQuest with browser ActiveX support. The business risk is endpoint compromise after user interaction, especially on engineering or development systems with access to sensitive repositories. Mitigation focus: Upgrade ClearQuest 7.1.1 to 7.1.1.9 or later.; Upgrade ClearQuest 7.1.2 to 7.1.2.6 or later.; Upgrade ClearQuest 8.0.0 to 8.0.0.2 or later..
