Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-15465 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance Software. 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-2018-15465/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15465/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15465","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15465/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15465","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wccp-c983-j22q"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Cisco ASA Software","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Unprivileged remote attackers can bypass authorization checks in the web interface to read configurations or replace software images on Cisco ASA devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"adaptive_security_appliance_software","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"}],"description":"A vulnerability in the authorization subsystem of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software could allow an authenticated, but unprivileged (levels 0 and 1), remote attacker to perform privileged actions by using the web management interface. The vulnerability is due to improper validation of user privileges when using the web management interface. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending specific HTTP requests via HTTPS to an affected device as an unprivileged user. An exploit could allow the attacker to retrieve files (including the running configuration) from the device or to upload and replace software images 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 Adaptive Security Appliance Software Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-15465","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software","products":["cisco:adaptive_security_appliance_software"],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cisco Policy Suite Graphite Unauthenticated Read-Only Access Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-15466"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cisco ASR 900 Series Aggregation Services Router Software Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2018-15464"},"products":["Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software"],"published":"2018-12-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2025-20333","kev_date_added":"2025-09-25","published":"2025-09-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) SNMP Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2016-6366","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-18"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Secure Firewall Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) and Secure Firewall Threat Defense (FTD) Heap Inspection","id":"CVE-2026-20349","kev_date_added":"2026-08-11","published":"2026-08-11"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Denial of Service","id":"CVE-2024-20353","kev_date_added":"2024-04-24","published":"2024-04-24"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) CLI Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-6367","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Read-Only Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2020-3452","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-22"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Cisco ASA and FTD Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2020-3259","kev_date_added":"2024-02-15","published":"2020-05-06"}],"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":"Unprivileged remote attackers can bypass authorization checks in the web interface to read configurations or replace software images on Cisco ASA devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15465/"}
