Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2018-18809 in the wild since at least 29 Dec 2022.\n\nAffected product: TIBCO JasperReports Library. 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-2018-18809/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18809/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18809","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18809/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18809","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2qh3-cx4w-cf3x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TIBCO JasperReports Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit a directory traversal flaw in TIBCO JasperReports Server to access sensitive files on the host system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"tibco","cpe":[{"product":"jasperreports_library","vendor":"tibco"},{"product":"jasperreports_server","vendor":"tibco"},{"product":"jaspersoft","vendor":"tibco"},{"product":"jaspersoft_reporting_and_analytics","vendor":"tibco"}],"cvss":{"score":9.9,"severity":"critical","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"The default server implementation of TIBCO Software Inc.'s TIBCO JasperReports Library, TIBCO JasperReports Library Community Edition, TIBCO JasperReports Library for ActiveMatrix BPM, TIBCO JasperReports Server, TIBCO JasperReports Server Community Edition, TIBCO JasperReports Server for ActiveMatrix BPM, TIBCO Jaspersoft for AWS with Multi-Tenancy, and TIBCO Jaspersoft Reporting and Analytics for AWS contains a directory-traversal vulnerability that may theoretically allow web server users to access contents of the host system.
