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-2018-17245 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Elastic Kibana. 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-2018-17245/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17245/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-17245","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17245/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-17245","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j8h5-wqfr-cxp3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kibana visualization tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Kibana leaks plaintext credentials to external resources during PDF report generation, allowing attackers to recover sensitive authentication data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"elastic","cpe":[{"product":"kibana","vendor":"elastic"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"},{"id":"CWE-201","name":"Insertion of Sensitive Information Into Sent Data"}],"description":"Kibana versions 4.0 to 4.6, 5.0 to 5.6.12, and 6.0 to 6.4.2 contain an error in the way authorization credentials are used when generating PDF reports.
