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-2017-5186 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Novell Edirectory. 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-2017-5186/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5186/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-5186","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5186/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-5186","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v5pw-67rf-j965"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell iManager/eDirectory","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Novell and NetIQ iManager and eDirectory use deprecated MD5 hashing in certificates, allowing potential cryptographic attacks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"netiq"},{"product":"imanager","vendor":"netiq"},{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"novell"},{"product":"imanager","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-327","name":"Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm"}],"description":"Novell iManager 2.7 before SP7 Patch 9, NetIQ iManager 3.x before 3.0.2.1, Novell eDirectory 8.8.x before 8.8 SP8 Patch 9 Hotfix 2, and NetIQ eDirectory 9.x before 9.0.2 Hotfix 2 (9.0.2.2) use the deprecated MD5 hashing algorithm in a communications certificate.","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":"Weak cryptography in NetIQ/Novell iManager and eDirectory","id":"CVE-2017-5186","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"novell:edirectory","products":["novell:edirectory"],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in Micro Focus Enterprise Developer, Micro Focus Enterprise Server","id":"CVE-2017-5187"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in NetIQ Sentinel Server","id":"CVE-2017-5185"},"products":["NetIQ/Novell iManager and eDirectory"],"published":"2017-04-27","related":[{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Certificate Revocation Check failure","id":"CVE-2018-12461","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-10"},{"cvss_score":3.1,"headline":"NetIQ eDirectory Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2018-1346","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-21"}],"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":"Novell and NetIQ iManager and eDirectory use deprecated MD5 hashing in certificates, allowing potential cryptographic attacks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-5186/"}
