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-2018-18728 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Tenda Ac15 Firmware. 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-2018-18728/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18728/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18728","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18728/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18728","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3f4j-7hmm-p7m3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Tenda wireless router","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on Tenda AC9, AC15, and AC18 routers by injecting shell metacharacters into the usbName field.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"ac15_firmware","vendor":"tenda"},{"product":"ac18_firmware","vendor":"tenda"},{"product":"ac9_firmware","vendor":"tenda"}],"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-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"An issue was discovered on Tenda AC9 V15.03.05.19(6318)_CN, AC15 V15.03.05.19_CN, and AC18 V15.03.05.19(6318)_CN devices.
