An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2018-0179 in the wild since at least 3 Mar 2022.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios. 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-2018-0179/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0179/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-0179","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-0179/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-0179","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xmxh-qgmj-jcc4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IOS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can trigger a system reload causing denial of service in Cisco IOS devices with Login Block enabled.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-399","name":null}],"description":"Multiple vulnerabilities in the Login Enhancements (Login Block) feature of Cisco IOS Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to trigger a reload of an affected system, resulting in a denial of service (DoS) condition.
