An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16833 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-2018-16833/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16833/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16833","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16833/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16833","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-92g2-rvpc-p2cp"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Desktop Central","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Cross-site scripting in Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central allows attackers to inject scripts via the search field, 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":"manageengine_desktop_central","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central 10.0.271 has XSS via the \"Features \u0026 Articles\" search field to the /advsearch.do?SUBREQUEST=XMLHTTP URI.","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-2018-16833","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16836"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16832"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-09-21","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Zoho Desktop Central Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-44515","kev_date_added":"2021-12-10","published":"2021-12-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central File Upload","id":"CVE-2020-10189","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15588","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7390","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-27"}],"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":"Cross-site scripting in Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central allows attackers to inject scripts via the search field, potentially leading to session hijacking or code execution.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16833/"}
