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-2018-11762 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.tika:tika-core (Maven): affected from 0.9; fixed in 1.19\n- org.apache.tika:tika-core (Maven): affected from 0.9; fixed in 1.19\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-2018-11762/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11762/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-11762","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11762/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-11762","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2018-11762","GHSA-w6g3-v46q-5p28","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-11762"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Tika library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system by providing a crafted input file with an absolute path when the extract directory is not specified.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apache","cpe":[{"product":"tika","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":5.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"In Apache Tika 0.9 to 1.18, in a rare edge case where a user does not specify an extract directory on the commandline (--extract-dir=) and the input file has an embedded file with an absolute path, such as \"C:/evil.bat\", tika-app would overwrite that file.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Moderate severity vulnerability that affects org.apache.tika:tika-core","id":"CVE-2018-11762","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in Apache HTTP Server","id":"CVE-2018-11763"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.19"],"introduced":["0.9"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tika:tika-core","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w6g3-v46q-5p28"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.19"],"introduced":["0.9"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.tika:tika-core","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.tika/tika-core","source":"GHSA-w6g3-v46q-5p28"}],"prev":{"headline":"High severity vulnerability that affects org.apache.tika:tika-core","id":"CVE-2018-11761"},"products":["Apache Tika"],"published":"2018-09-19","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Apache Tika","id":"CVE-2019-10088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-02"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Apache Tika has XXE vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-66516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-04"},{"cvss_score":8.4,"headline":"Apache Tika PDF parser module: XXE vulnerability in PDFParser's handling of XFA","id":"CVE-2025-54988","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-20"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Command injection in org.apache.tika:tika-core","id":"CVE-2018-1335","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Allocation of Resources Without Limits or Throttling in Apache Tika","id":"CVE-2019-10094","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-02"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apache Tika does not properly initialize the XML parser or choose handlers","id":"CVE-2016-4434","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Apache Tika is vulnerable to entity expansions which can lead to a denial of service attack","id":"CVE-2018-11796","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-09"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Apache Software Foundation"]},"summary":"An attacker can overwrite arbitrary files on the system by providing a crafted input file with an absolute path when the extract directory is not specified.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-11762/"}
