Opera before 12.10 follows Internet shortcuts that are referenced by a (1) IMG element or (2) other inline element, which makes it easier for remote attackers to conduct phishing attacks via a crafted web site, as exploited in the wild in November 2012.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This old Opera browser flaw can make a crafted website trigger Internet shortcut handling through images or inline content, improving phishing credibility. The main risk is user deception, not server compromise. Exposure matters most where legacy Opera versions before 12.10 are still used. Likely exposure is limited to endpoints running Opera before 12.10. The provided affected-product metadata is incomplete, but the CVE title and description identify Opera before 12.10. Server applications are not indicated as affected. Handle as a legacy endpoint hygiene issue. Prioritize if the organization has old browsers in production, kiosks, lab systems, or unmanaged endpoints. Otherwise, business urgency is limited because the issue is historical and product exposure is narrow. Mitigation focus: Upgrade any legacy Opera installations to 12.10 or later per vendor references.; Remove unsupported legacy Opera versions from managed endpoints.; Check vendor guidance if upgrade status is unclear..
