It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16176 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Japan Atomic Energy Agency Installer of Mapping Tool. 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-2018-16176/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16176/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16176","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16176/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16176","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7vp7-7f27-j6qc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mapping Tool installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the Mapping Tool installer due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"mapping_tool","vendor":"jaea"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"Untrusted search path vulnerability in Installer of Mapping Tool 2.0.1.6 and 2.0.1.7 allows remote attackers to gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in an unspecified directory.","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":"Privilege escalation in Installer of Mapping Tool","id":"CVE-2018-16176","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in The installer of Windows10 Fall Creators Update Modify module for Security Measures tool","id":"CVE-2018-16177"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in LearnPress","id":"CVE-2018-16175"},"products":["Installer of Mapping Tool"],"published":"2019-01-09","related":[],"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":["Japan Atomic Energy Agency"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can gain privileges via a Trojan horse DLL in the Mapping Tool installer due to an untrusted search path vulnerability.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16176/"}
