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-2018-18996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ICS-CERT LCDS Laquis SCADA. 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-2018-18996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18996/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q9mp-cgfx-mqjr"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SCADA system","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute remote code on LCDS Laquis SCADA servers due to missing authorization and input sanitation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"laquis_scada","vendor":"lcds"}],"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-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-74","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements in Output Used by a Downstream Component"}],"description":"LCDS Laquis SCADA prior to version 4.1.0.4150 allows taking in user input without proper authorization or sanitation, which may allow an attacker to execute remote code on the server.","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 LCDS Laquis SCADA","id":"CVE-2018-18996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2","id":"CVE-2018-18997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2","id":"CVE-2018-18995"},"products":["LCDS Laquis SCADA"],"published":"2019-02-05","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in LCDS Laquis SCADA","id":"CVE-2018-18998","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Null dereference in LAquis SCADA","id":"CVE-2018-17893","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in LAquis SCADA","id":"CVE-2018-17895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-17897","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-17"},{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"LCDS LAquis SCADA - Cross-site Scripting","id":"CVE-2021-32989","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-05-25"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"LCDS Laquis SCADA prior to version 4.1.0.4150 allows taking in user input without proper sanitation, which may allow an attacker to execute","id":"CVE-2018-18992","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-02-05"}],"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":["ICS-CERT"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute remote code on LCDS Laquis SCADA servers due to missing authorization and input sanitation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18996/"}
