An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-17950 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-17950 is a high-severity missing authorization vulnerability in Micro Focus NetIQ eDirectory 9.1 SP2, published on 12 Dec 2018. 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-2018-17950 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus NetIQ eDirectory 9.1 SP2. 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-2018-17950/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17950/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-17950","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17950/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-17950","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j6h7-3pc4-2m8j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"NetIQ eDirectory","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in NetIQ eDirectory due to incorrect enforcement, potentially accessing unauthorized resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"edirectory","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Incorrect enforcement of authorization checks in eDirectory prior to 9.1 SP2","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":"Missing authorization in NetIQ eDirectory 9.1 SP2","id":"CVE-2018-17950","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in NetIQ eDirectory 9.1 SP2","id":"CVE-2018-17952"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in NetIQ iManager 3.1 SP2","id":"CVE-2018-17949"},"products":["NetIQ eDirectory 9.1 SP2"],"published":"2018-12-12","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-0432","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Fix for NetIQ shell code upload","id":"CVE-2017-7429","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-02"},{"cvss_score":7.6,"headline":"Possible NLDAP Denial of Service attack Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-22532","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-12"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in eDirectory (ZDI)","id":"CVE-2018-7686","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-08-09"},{"cvss_score":7.4,"headline":"Possible Improper authentication Vulnerability in OpenText eDirectory","id":"CVE-2021-38133","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-12"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Possible Insertion of Sensitive Information into Log File Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-22533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-12"}],"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":["Micro Focus"]},"summary":"Attackers can bypass authorization checks in NetIQ eDirectory due to incorrect enforcement, potentially accessing unauthorized resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-17950/"}
