Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-15142 exists.\n\nAffected product: Open-Emr Openemr. 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-2018-15142/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15142/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15142","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15142/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15142","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ffhh-fjrg-f4fj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenEMR","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a directory traversal flaw in OpenEMR to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openemr","vendor":"open-emr"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal in portal/import_template.php in versions of OpenEMR before 5.0.1.4 allows a remote attacker authenticated in the patient portal to execute arbitrary PHP code by writing a file with a PHP extension via the \"docid\" and \"content\" parameters and accessing it in the traversed directory.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-08-16","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-08-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"45202","stars":null,"title":"OpenEMR 5.0.1.3 - (Authenticated) Arbitrary File Actions"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15142","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"open-emr:openemr","products":["open-emr:openemr"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15143"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15141"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-08-13","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"OpenEMR has an Unauthenticated MedEx Token Disclosure","id":"CVE-2026-24898","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-03-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"OpenEMR Arbitrary File Read Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2026-24849","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"OpenEMR has SQL Injection in Patient API Sort Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-24908","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-02-25"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Improper Restriction of Rendered UI Layers or Frames in openemr/openemr","id":"CVE-2022-2734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-22611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2024-37734","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-26"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-17197","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-05"}],"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"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a directory traversal flaw in OpenEMR to upload and execute arbitrary PHP code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15142/"}
