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-2018-15368 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Ios Xe. 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-2018-15368/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15368/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15368","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15368/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15368","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c88x-25jj-8xff"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco IOS XE","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Authenticated local attackers with privilege level 15 can execute arbitrary root commands via crafted CLI arguments in Cisco IOS XE.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"ios_xe","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":6.7,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the CLI parser of Cisco IOS XE Software could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain access to the underlying Linux shell of an affected device and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the device. The vulnerability is due to the affected software improperly sanitizing command arguments to prevent modifications to the underlying Linux filesystem on a device. An attacker who has privileged EXEC mode (privilege level 15) access to an affected device could exploit this vulnerability on the device by executing CLI commands that contain crafted arguments. A successful exploit could allow the attacker to gain access to the underlying Linux shell of the affected device and execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on the device.","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":"Cisco IOS XE Software Privileged EXEC Mode Root Shell Access Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-15368","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:ios_xe","products":["cisco:ios_xe"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cisco IOS and IOS XE Software TACACS+ Client Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-15369"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Null dereference in Trend Micro Antivirus for Mac (Consumer)","id":"CVE-2018-15367"},"products":["Cisco IOS XE Software"],"published":"2018-10-05","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2023-20198","kev_date_added":"2023-10-16","published":"2023-10-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS Software and Cisco IOS XE Software Quality of Service Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2018-0151","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2018-03-28"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Web UI Command Injection","id":"CVE-2023-20273","kev_date_added":"2023-10-23","published":"2023-10-24"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Cisco IOS XE Software","id":"CVE-2025-20188","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-05-07"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software for Catalyst 9000 Family Wireless Controllers CAPWAP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-34770","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-09-23"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco REST API Container for IOS XE Software Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-12643","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-28"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco IOS XE Software Security Hardening Release","id":"CVE-2026-20272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-05"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-11-26","vendors":["Cisco"]},"summary":"Authenticated local attackers with privilege level 15 can execute arbitrary root commands via crafted CLI arguments in Cisco IOS XE.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15368/"}
