It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-18368 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM). 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-2018-18368/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18368/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18368","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18368/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18368","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-cgj2-wm7x-gwqc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Protection Manager","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a privilege escalation flaw in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to gain elevated access to protected resources.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"symantec","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_protection_manager","vendor":"symantec"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM), prior to 14.2 RU1, may be susceptible to a privilege escalation vulnerability, which is a type of issue whereby an attacker may attempt to compromise the software application to gain elevated access to resources that are normally protected from an application or user.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2019-07-27","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":17,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-07-27T10:22:19Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/DimopoulosElias/SEPM-EoP","stars":17,"title":"CVE-2018-18368 SEP Manager EoP Exploit"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM)","id":"CVE-2018-18368","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Other in Norton Security","id":"CVE-2018-18369"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Other in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager","id":"CVE-2018-18367"},"products":["Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager (SEPM)"],"published":"2019-11-15","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3648","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3650","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-06-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8153","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-8154","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-03-18"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-6555","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-11-12"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1489","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-08-01"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-1492","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2015-08-01"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit a privilege escalation flaw in Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager to gain elevated access to protected resources.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18368/"}
