An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-12463 exists.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus Fortify Software Security Center. 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-2018-12463/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12463/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-12463","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12463/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-12463","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3qx8-hg75-rq29"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Fortify SSC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files or perform SSRF via crafted XML requests in Fortify Software Security Center.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"fortify_software_security_center","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"An XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in Fortify Software Security Center (SSC), version 17.1, 17.2, 18.1 allows remote unauthenticated users to read arbitrary files or conduct server-side request forgery (SSRF) attacks via a crafted DTD in an XML request.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-07-10","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":5,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-07-10T09:51:40Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/alt3kx/CVE-2018-12463","stars":5,"title":"XML external entity (XXE) vulnerability in /ssc/fm-ws/services in Fortify Software Security Center (SSC) 17.10, 17.20 \u0026 18.10  (0day CVE-2018-12463)"},{"date":"2018-07-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"45027","stars":null,"title":"Fortify Software Security Center (SSC) 17.x/18.1 - XML External Entity Injection"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"MFSBGN03811 rev.1 - Fortify Software Security Center (SSC), Multiple vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2018-12463","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xxe","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Unauthenticated SQL injection in Micro Focus Secure Messaging Gateway","id":"CVE-2018-12464"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"NetIQ iManager XSS vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2018-12462"},"products":["Fortify Software Security Center"],"published":"2018-07-12","related":[{"cvss_score":5,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-16"},{"cvss_score":4,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-3249","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-08-16"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Micro Focus"]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can read arbitrary files or perform SSRF via crafted XML requests in Fortify Software Security Center.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-12463/"}
