An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-18981 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-18981 is a high-severity denial of service vulnerability in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform v2.90 and earlier, published on 24 Jan 2019. 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-2018-18981 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform v2.90 and earlier. 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-2018-18981/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18981/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18981","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18981/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18981","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v3wg-5frm-q7hg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Industrial Automation Platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can cause denial of service in Rockwell FactoryTalk Services Platform by sending crafted packets that exhaust memory.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"factorytalk_services_platform","vendor":"rockwellautomation"}],"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:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"},{"id":"CWE-122","name":"Heap-based Buffer Overflow"}],"description":"In Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform 2.90 and earlier, a remote unauthenticated attacker could send numerous crafted packets to service ports resulting in memory consumption that could lead to a partial or complete denial-of-service condition to the affected services.","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":"Denial of service in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform v2.90 and earlier","id":"CVE-2018-18981","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in NUUO CMS","id":"CVE-2018-18982"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-18980"},"products":["Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform v2.90 and earlier"],"published":"2019-01-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Rockwell Multiple Products Insufficient Protected Credentials","id":"CVE-2021-22681","kev_date_added":"2026-03-05","published":"2021-03-03"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Weak cryptography in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform","id":"CVE-2020-14516","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-18"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Service Platform Service Token Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2024-21917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-31"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Deserialization in Rockwell Automation All versions of FactoryTalk Diagnostics software, a subsystem of the FactoryTalk Services Platform","id":"CVE-2020-6967","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-23"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk® Service Platform Elevated Privileges Vulnerability Through Web Service Functionality","id":"CVE-2024-21915","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-16"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform","id":"CVE-2020-12033","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-06-23"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Rockwell Automation FactoryTalk Services Platform Protection Mechanism Failure","id":"CVE-2021-32960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-01"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["Rockwell"]},"summary":"Remote unauthenticated attackers can cause denial of service in Rockwell FactoryTalk Services Platform by sending crafted packets that exhaust memory.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18981/"}
