It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-15331 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Big-Ip Application Acceleration Manager. 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-2018-15331/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15331/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15331","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15331/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15331","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wxr5-p2xp-m24f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BIG-IP AAM","requires_auth":"none","summary":"The dcdb_convert utility fails to drop group permissions, allowing attackers to leverage attacks against the BIG-IP system.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_application_acceleration_manager","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"On BIG-IP AAM 13.0.0 or 12.1.0-12.1.3.7, the dcdb_convert utility used by BIG-IP AAM fails to drop group permissions when executing helper scripts, which could be used to leverage attacks against the BIG-IP system.","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":"Privilege escalation in BIG-IP (AAM)","id":"CVE-2018-15331","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"f5:big-ip_application_acceleration_manager","products":["f5:big-ip_application_acceleration_manager"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Race condition in BIG-IP (APM), BIG-IP APM Clients, BIG-IP Edge Client","id":"CVE-2018-15332"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, FPS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator)","id":"CVE-2018-15330"},"products":["BIG-IP (AAM)"],"published":"2018-12-20","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Denial of service in BIG-IP AAM, PEM","id":"CVE-2017-6160","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-10-27"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in BIG-IP (AAM)","id":"CVE-2019-6601","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-03-13"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["F5 Networks, Inc."]},"summary":"The dcdb_convert utility fails to drop group permissions, allowing attackers to leverage attacks against the BIG-IP system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15331/"}
