It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-11053 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module. 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-2018-11053/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11053/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-11053","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11053/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-11053","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ppf5-mgf6-gfp3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell iDRAC Service Module","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Dell iDRAC Service Module incorrectly sets /etc/hosts permissions to world-writable, allowing local users to redirect traffic to malicious sites.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"misconfiguration"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"dell","cpe":[{"product":"emc_idrac_service_module","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":6.6,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"Dell EMC iDRAC Service Module for all supported Linux and XenServer versions v3.0.1, v3.0.2, v3.1.0, v3.2.0, when started, changes the default file permission of the hosts file of the host operating system (/etc/hosts) to world writable.
