An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-1343 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-1343 is a critical authentication bypass vulnerability in Micro Focus NetIQ Privileged Account Manager (PAM) 3.1 and 3.2, published on 6 Mar 2018. 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-2018-1343 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus NetIQ Privileged Account Manager (PAM) 3.1 and 3.2. 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-2018-1343/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1343/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-1343","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1343/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-1343","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-322r-r98c-pph2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Privileged Account Manager","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication in NetIQ Privileged Account Manager to access remote hosts and sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"privileged_account_manager","vendor":"netiq"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"PAM exposure enabling unauthenticated access to remote 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":"Auth bypass in NetIQ Privileged Account Manager (PAM) 3.1 and 3.2","id":"CVE-2018-1343","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"NetIQ iManager Communication Downgrade Attack","id":"CVE-2018-1344"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in NetIQ Access Manager, Administrative Console","id":"CVE-2018-1342"},"products":["NetIQ Privileged Account Manager (PAM) 3.1 and 3.2"],"published":"2018-03-06","related":[{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Cross site scripting attacks against NetIQ Privileged Account Manager","id":"CVE-2017-7437","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-05"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"DOM cross site scripting attack against NetIQ Privileged Account Manager","id":"CVE-2017-7438","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-02"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["Micro Focus"]},"summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can bypass authentication in NetIQ Privileged Account Manager to access remote hosts and sensitive data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1343/"}
