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-2018-14672 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ClickHouse. 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-2018-14672/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-14672/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-14672","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-14672/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-14672","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2v23-4x7f-rh2c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ClickHouse database","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary files via path traversal in ClickHouse CatBoost model loading functions, exposing sensitive data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"yandex","cpe":[{"product":"clickhouse","vendor":"clickhouse"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"In ClickHouse before 18.12.13, functions for loading CatBoost models allowed path traversal and reading arbitrary files through error messages.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Path traversal in ClickHouse","id":"CVE-2018-14672","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-14678"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in ClickHouse","id":"CVE-2018-14671"},"products":["ClickHouse"],"published":"2019-08-15","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in ClickHouse","id":"CVE-2019-16535","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-12-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in ClickHouse","id":"CVE-2018-14670","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-15"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in ClickHouse","id":"CVE-2018-14671","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in clickhouse","id":"CVE-2021-43304","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in clickhouse","id":"CVE-2021-43305","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-03-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Server-side request forgery in ClickHouse","id":"CVE-2018-14668","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-15"},{"cvss_score":8.2,"headline":"Stack overflow leading to DoS can be triggered by a malicious authenticated client.","id":"CVE-2019-16536","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-21"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can read arbitrary files via path traversal in ClickHouse CatBoost model loading functions, exposing sensitive data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-14672/"}
