CVE-2012-2423: Intuit Quickbooks

Low severity, CVSS 1.8. EPSS: 1.1% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

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, provide different responses to remote requests depending on whether a ZIP pathname is valid, which allows remote attackers to obtain potentially sensitive information about the installation path and product version via a series of requests involving the Msxml2.XMLHTTP object.

Affected products

• Intuit Quickbooks: version 2009 only; version 2010 only; version 2011 only; version 2012 only
