Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-1539 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Rational Engineering Lifecycle 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-2018-1539/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1539/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-1539","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-1539/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-1539","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2cjg-6xm9-4wh6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass authentication by accessing unintended pages directly, potentially gaining unauthorized access to the system.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"rational_engineering_lifecycle_manager","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/A:N/AC:L/AV:N/C:L/I:L/PR:L/S:C/UI:R/E:U/RC:C/RL:O","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"IBM Rational Engineering Lifecycle Manager 5.0 through 5.02 and 6.0 through 6.0.6 could allow remote attackers to bypass authentication via a direct request or forced browsing to a page other than URL intended.
