The XMLHttpRequest object in Qt before 4.8.4 enables http redirection to the file scheme, which allows man-in-the-middle attackers to force the read of arbitrary local files and possibly obtain sensitive information via a file: URL to a QML application.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-5624 is a Qt QML XMLHttpRequest flaw where an HTTP redirect could be changed to a local file URL. A network man-in-the-middle could make a vulnerable QML application read local files, possibly exposing sensitive information. Exposure is most likely in legacy desktop or embedded applications bundling or depending on Qt earlier than 4.8.4, especially QML applications that make HTTP XMLHttpRequest calls over untrusted networks. Treat this as a legacy exposure issue. It is not KEV-listed, but vulnerable Qt/QML applications on untrusted networks could leak local sensitive files. Prioritize remediation where legacy Qt is embedded in business-critical or hard-to-patch products. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Qt to 4.8.4 or a vendor-fixed package release.; Apply relevant Ubuntu, openSUSE, or other vendor security updates where applicable.; Inventory applications that bundle private Qt runtimes, not only system packages..
