An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-16961 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-2018-16961/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16961/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-16961","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16961/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-16961","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qvvc-7369-335j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Open XDMoD","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary PDF files via path traversal in Open XDMoD, exposing sensitive documents.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"open_xdmod","vendor":"buffalo"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in Open XDMoD through 7.5.0. html/gui/general/dl_publication.php allows Path traversal via the file parameter, allowing remote attackers to read PDF files in arbitrary directories.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16961","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16962"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16960"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-05-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16988","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-02"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Open XDMoD Vulnerable to Unauthenticated Remote Code Execution (RCE) via OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2026-45777","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-05"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Open XDMoD Vulnerable to Unauthenticated SQL Injection Leading to Full Database Compromise","id":"CVE-2026-45779","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-05"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Open XDMoD Vulnerable to Reflected Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in Password Reset","id":"CVE-2026-45778","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-05"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-16960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-02"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Open XDMoD has Broken Access Control via Client-Controlled Session Variable","id":"CVE-2026-45776","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-06-05"}],"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":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary PDF files via path traversal in Open XDMoD, exposing sensitive documents.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-16961/"}
