An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2008-5518 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.geronimo.plugins:console (Maven): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.4\n- org.apache.geronimo.plugins:console (Maven): affected from 2.1.0; fixed in 2.1.4\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-2008-5518/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5518/index.md)","id":"CVE-2008-5518","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5518/index.md","name":"CVE-2008-5518","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xm92-rf24-h74w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Geronimo Application Server","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers with admin access can upload files to arbitrary directories via path traversal in the web console, potentially leading to code execution.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"geronimo","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":9.4,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:N","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities in the web administration console in Apache Geronimo Application Server 2.1 through 2.1.3 on Windows allow remote attackers to upload files to arbitrary directories via directory traversal sequences in the (1) group, (2) artifact, (3) version, or (4) fileType parameter to console/portal//Services/Repository (aka the Services/Repository portlet); the (5) createDB parameter to console/portal/Embedded DB/DB Manager (aka the Embedded DB/DB Manager portlet); or the (6) filename parameter to the createKeystore script in the Security/Keystores portlet.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2009-04-16","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2009-04-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"8458","stars":null,"title":"Apache Geronimo 2.1.3 - Multiple Directory Traversal Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache Geronimo Application Server multiple directory traversal vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2008-5518","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2008"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5519"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.1.4"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.geronimo.plugins:console","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-xm92-rf24-h74w"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.1.4"],"introduced":["2.1.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.geronimo.plugins:console","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.geronimo.plugins/console","source":"GHSA-xm92-rf24-h74w"}],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-5517"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2009-04-17","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Apache Geronimo JMX Remoting functionality allows remote code execution in 3.x before v3.0.1","id":"CVE-2013-1777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2013-07-11"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-4548","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-08-27"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apache Geronimo Hash Collisions Cause DoS","id":"CVE-2011-5034","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-12-30"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5797","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-11-03"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Apache Geronimo Application Server CSRF vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2009-0039","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-04-17"},{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2007-5085","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2007-09-26"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers with admin access can upload files to arbitrary directories via path traversal in the web console, potentially leading to code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2008-5518/"}
