The intu-help-qb (aka Intuit Help System Async Pluggable Protocol) handlers in HelpAsyncPluggableProtocol.dll in Intuit QuickBooks 2009 through 2012, when Internet Explorer is used, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a URI that lacks a required delimiter.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This CVE affects Intuit QuickBooks 2009 through 2012 when used with Internet Explorer. A specially formed intu-help-qb URI can crash the affected application through the Intuit Help System handler, creating a denial-of-service condition rather than documented data theft or code execution. Exposure is most likely on legacy Windows endpoints that still run QuickBooks 2009-2012 and Internet Explorer with the Intuit help protocol handler registered. Treat this as legacy software risk. It is not documented here as ransomware-grade or code-execution exposure, but affected accounting workstations could be disrupted and should be retired, patched, or isolated according to vendor guidance. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints running QuickBooks 2009 through 2012.; Check Intuit and CERT guidance for vendor-supported fixes or workarounds.; Avoid opening untrusted intu-help-qb links in Internet Explorer on affected systems..
