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-2018-15979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Acrobat Dc. 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-2018-15979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-15979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-15979/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-15979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v88m-378h-jxpx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Acrobat Reader","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can steal NTLM SSO hashes via Adobe Acrobat and Reader, leading to information disclosure.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"acrobat_dc","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"acrobat_reader_dc","vendor":"adobe"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Adobe Acrobat and Reader versions 2019.008.20080 and earlier, 2017.011.30105 and earlier, and 2015.006.30456 and earlier have a ntlm sso hash theft vulnerability.
