An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-13799 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-13799 is a critical vulnerability in Siemens AG SIMATIC WinCC OA V3.14 and prior, published on 12 Sep 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-2018-13799 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens AG SIMATIC WinCC OA V3.14 and prior. 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-2018-13799/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13799/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-13799","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-13799/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-13799","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-93r3-p736-cjhx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCADA HMI software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated remote attackers can escalate privileges in SIMATIC WinCC OA via improper access control on port 5678, compromising system integrity and availability.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"simatic_wincc_open_architecture","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in SIMATIC WinCC OA V3.14 and prior (All versions \u003c V3.14-P021).
