Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16093 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Lenovo LXCI for VMware. 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-2018-16093/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16093/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16093","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16093/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16093","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-442g-g3hv-vwp5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware management tool","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can write arbitrary system files via backup upload, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"file_upload"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"lenovo","cpe":[{"product":"xclarity_integrator","vendor":"lenovo"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-434","name":"Unrestricted Upload of File with Dangerous Type"}],"description":"In versions prior to 5.5, LXCI for VMware allows an authenticated user to write to any system file due to insufficient sanitization during the upload of a backup file.","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":"LXCI for VMware","id":"CVE-2018-16093","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"file_upload","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"System Management Module Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2018-16094"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"System Management Module Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2018-16092"},"products":["LXCI for VMware"],"published":"2018-11-30","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"LXCI for VMware and LXCI for Microsoft System Center","id":"CVE-2018-16097","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-30"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"LXCI for VMware","id":"CVE-2018-9072","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-30"}],"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":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Lenovo"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can write arbitrary system files via backup upload, potentially leading to code execution or privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16093/"}
