It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-1431 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Spectrum Scale. 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-2018-1431/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1431/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-1431","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1431/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-1431","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rgpj-748v-34f2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Spectrum Scale","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A local attacker can exploit a GSKit vulnerability in IBM Spectrum Scale to gain administrator privileges and modify file system data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"general_parallel_file_system","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"spectrum_scale","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/A:H/AC:H/AV:L/C:H/I:H/PR:N/S:U/UI:N/E:U/RC:C/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A vulnerability in GSKit affects IBM Spectrum Scale 4.1.1, 4.2.0, 4.2.1, 4.2.3, and 5.0.0 that could allow a local attacker to obtain control of the Spectrum Scale daemon and to access and modify files in the Spectrum Scale file system, and possibly to obtain administrator privileges on the node.
