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-2018-10868 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: redhat-certification. 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-2018-10868/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-10868/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-10868","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-10868/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-10868","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9gcv-g5q9-f633"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Red Hat certification tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service via a Billion Laugh Attack by exploiting recursive entity definitions in XMLRPC responses.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"certification","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-776","name":"Improper Restriction of Recursive Entity References in DTDs"},{"id":"CWE-400","name":"Uncontrolled Resource Consumption"}],"description":"redhat-certification 7 does not properly restrict the number of recursive definitions of entities in XML documents, allowing an unauthenticated user to run a \"Billion Laugh Attack\" by replying to XMLRPC methods when getting the status of an host.","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":"Denial of service in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10868","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10869"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10867"},"products":["redhat-certification"],"published":"2021-05-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in rhcertstore.py","id":"CVE-2018-10870","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-19"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Missing authorization in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10866","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-26"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Path traversal in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10863","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Missing authorization in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10865","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-26"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in redhat-certification","id":"CVE-2018-10869","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-19"}],"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":"An unauthenticated attacker can cause a denial of service via a Billion Laugh Attack by exploiting recursive entity definitions in XMLRPC responses.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-10868/"}
