It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-15527 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Management Console. 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-2017-15527/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15527/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-15527","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15527/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-15527","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5vc6-rv77-8xmg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Symantec Management Console","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit insufficient input validation to traverse directories and read arbitrary files on the Symantec Management Console server.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"management_console","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Prior to ITMS 8.1 RU4, the Symantec Management Console can be susceptible to a directory traversal exploit, which is a type of attack that can occur when there is insufficient security validation / sanitization of user-supplied input file names, such that characters representing \"traverse to parent directory\" are passed through to the file APIs.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in Symantec Management Console","id":"CVE-2017-15527","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-15528"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in Symantec Endpoint Encryption","id":"CVE-2017-15526"},"products":["Symantec Management Console"],"published":"2017-11-20","related":[{"cvss_score":8,"headline":"XML external entity in ITMS","id":"CVE-2017-6323","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-16"}],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Symantec Corporation"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit insufficient input validation to traverse directories and read arbitrary files on the Symantec Management Console server.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-15527/"}
