Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2000-0979 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 98. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2000-0979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0979/index.md","name":"CVE-2000-0979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fxp6-5w7j-wg3x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows File Sharing","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass file share access controls by sending a single-byte password matching the first character, allowing unauthorized data access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"windows_95","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_98","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_98se","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_me","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":6.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"File and Print Sharing service in Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me does not properly check the password for a file share, which allows remote attackers to bypass share access controls by sending a 1-byte password that matches the first character of the real password, aka the \"Share Level Password\" vulnerability.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":2,"first_seen":"2000-10-10","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-10-26T14:40:17Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/Z6543/CVE-2000-0979","stars":2,"title":"CVE-2000-0979"},{"date":"2000-10-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20283","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows 9x/ME - Share Level Password Bypass (1)"},{"date":"2000-10-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"20284","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows 9x/ME - Share Level Password Bypass (2)"},{"date":"2000-10-10","kind":"metasploit","ref":"auxiliary/scanner/smb/cve_2000_0979","stars":null,"title":"CVE-2000-0979 SMB Share Password Enumerator"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0979","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_98","products":["microsoft:windows_98","microsoft:windows_98se","microsoft:windows_me"],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2000"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0980"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0978"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2001-01-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0387","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-07-12"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0330","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-06-02"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-0518","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-04"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2000-0155","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2000-02-23"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1201","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2004-09-01"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-1999-1105","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2002-03-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass file share access controls by sending a single-byte password matching the first character, allowing unauthorized data access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2000-0979/"}
