Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2012-1787 is a set of cross-site scripting issues in Webglimpse 2.20.0 and earlier. If the vulnerable CGI endpoint is exposed, an attacker could cause browser-executed script or HTML to run in a user’s session. The source bundle does not provide CVSS scoring, confirmed fixes, or active exploitation evidence. Exposure is most likely on legacy websites or servers still running Webglimpse 2.20.0 or earlier with wgarcmin.cgi reachable over HTTP. Modern environments are unlikely to be affected unless this old CGI component remains deployed. Treat this as a legacy internet-exposure cleanup item. Prioritize remediation if Webglimpse is externally reachable or used by administrators, because XSS can support session theft, phishing, and browser-side compromise. Mitigation focus: Inventory any Webglimpse deployments and identify versions 2.20.0 or earlier.; Remove or restrict public access to wgarcmin.cgi where not required.; Check Webglimpse or trusted advisory guidance for fixed versions or vendor remediation..
