Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16606 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-2018-16606/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16606/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16606","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16606/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16606","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-82m2-m9pg-5cpp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"ProConf conference system","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"An attacker can view all submitted papers and author personal information by manipulating the Paper ID parameter in ProConf.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"proconf","vendor":"proconf"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-639","name":"Authorization Bypass Through User-Controlled Key"}],"description":"In ProConf before 6.1, an Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR) allows any author to view and grab all submitted papers (Title and Abstract) and their authors' personal information (Name, Email, Organization, and Position) by changing the value of Paper ID (the pid parameter).","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2025-04-16","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2025-04-16","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"52236","stars":null,"title":"ProConf 6.0 -  Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16606","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16607"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16605"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-09-06","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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can view all submitted papers and author personal information by manipulating the Paper ID parameter in ProConf.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16606/"}
