An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-15691 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: CA Technologies Release Automation. 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-2018-15691/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15691/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15691","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15691/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15691","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m499-qj3g-vhpx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CA Release Automation","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via insecure deserialization in CA Release Automation, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"deserialization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ca","cpe":[{"product":"release_automation","vendor":"broadcom"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-502","name":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data"}],"description":"Insecure deserialization of a specially crafted serialized object, in CA Release Automation 6.5 and earlier, allows attackers to potentially execute arbitrary code.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-09-17","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-09-17","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"45425","stars":null,"title":"CA Release Automation NiMi 6.5 - Remote Command Execution"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Deserialization in Release Automation","id":"CVE-2018-15691","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"deserialization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-15692"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2018-15690"},"products":["Release Automation"],"published":"2018-08-30","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8698","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-29"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-16"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8248","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-16"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8699","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-29"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-8247","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-16"}],"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":"2024-09-16","vendors":["CA Technologies"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code via insecure deserialization in CA Release Automation, requiring an upgrade to mitigate.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15691/"}
