Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16243 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2018-16243/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16243/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16243","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16243/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16243","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m4hr-5jvh-hpgq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Database Performance Analyzer","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Persistent XSS vulnerabilities in SolarWinds DPA allow attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"database_performance_analyzer","vendor":"solarwinds"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 11.1.468 and 12.0.3074 have several persistent XSS vulnerabilities, related to logViewer.iwc, centralManage.cen, userAdministration.iwc, database.iwc, alertManagement.iwc, eventAnnotations.iwc, and central.cen.","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16243","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16247"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16242"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-12-15","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"No Exception Handling Vulnerability: Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 2023.1","id":"CVE-2023-23837","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-25"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Sensitive Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2022-38112","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-01-20"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting Vulnerability using SQL Query","id":"CVE-2021-35229","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-21"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Directory traversal and file enumeration vulnerability: Database Performance Analyzer (DPA) 2023.1","id":"CVE-2023-23838","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-04-25"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"XSS in SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer 2023.2","id":"CVE-2023-33231","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-18"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19386","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-14"},{"cvss_score":5.6,"headline":"SolarWinds Database Performance Analyzer Hard-coded Cryptographic Key Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-26398","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-08-12"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Persistent XSS vulnerabilities in SolarWinds DPA allow attackers to inject malicious scripts, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16243/"}
