An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-17455 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Mahara Mahara. 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-2017-17455/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17455/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-17455","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17455/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-17455","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7fh7-mv59-556w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mahara ePortfolio","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can force Mahara to use HTTP instead of HTTPS via man-in-the-middle attacks, bypassing SSL encryption even when certificates are present.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"mahara","vendor":"mahara"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-295","name":"Improper Certificate Validation"}],"description":"Mahara 16.10 before 16.10.7, 17.04 before 17.04.5, and 17.10 before 17.10.2 are vulnerable to being forced, via a man-in-the-middle attack, to interact with Mahara on the HTTP protocol rather than HTTPS even when an SSL certificate is present.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17455","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"mahara:mahara","products":["mahara:mahara"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Mercurial vulnerable to arbitrary code injection","id":"CVE-2017-17458"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17454"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-02-20","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-45134","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-22"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-44544","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-11-06"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-40849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000152","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000153","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000154","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-03"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-39335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-26"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can force Mahara to use HTTP instead of HTTPS via man-in-the-middle attacks, bypassing SSL encryption even when certificates are present.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-17455/"}
