An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-17572 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- github.com/influxdata/influxdb (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.9.6\n- github.com/influxdata/influxdb (Go): affected all versions; fixed in 0.9.6\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-2018-17572/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17572/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-17572","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17572/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-17572","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2018-17572","GHSA-w55x-q3gv-px85"],"analysis":{"component_type":"database","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"InfluxDB time-series database","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in user browsers via reflected XSS in the Write Data module of InfluxDB.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"influxdb","vendor":"influxdata"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/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":"InfluxDB 0.9.5 has Reflected XSS in the Write Data module.","ecosystems":["Go"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"InfluxDB Reflected Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2018-17572","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Go","product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-17573"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.9.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/influxdata/influxdb","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-w55x-q3gv-px85"},{"ecosystem":"Go","fixed":["0.9.6"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"github.com/influxdata/influxdb","purl":"pkg:golang/github.com/influxdata/influxdb","source":"GHSA-w55x-q3gv-px85"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-17571"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2020-03-02","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-36640","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in user browsers via reflected XSS in the Write Data module of InfluxDB.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17572/"}
