An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-18997 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2. 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-2018-18997/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18997/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-18997","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18997/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-18997","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xcxc-7x26-f9p5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"PLC Gateway","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can inject HTML/JavaScript into device properties via the web interface, allowing execution in visitor browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"gate-e1_firmware","vendor":"abb"},{"product":"gate-e2_firmware","vendor":"abb"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Pluto Safety PLC Gateway Ethernet devices in ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2 all versions allows an unauthenticated attacker using the administrative web interface to insert an HTML/Javascript payload into any of the device properties, which may allow an attacker to display/execute the payload in a visitor browser.","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":"Cross-site scripting in ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2","id":"CVE-2018-18997","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in LCDS Laquis SCADA","id":"CVE-2018-18998"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Missing authorization in LCDS Laquis SCADA","id":"CVE-2018-18996"},"products":["ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2"],"published":"2019-01-03","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing authorization in ABB GATE-E1 and GATE-E2","id":"CVE-2018-18995","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-03"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An unauthenticated attacker can inject HTML/JavaScript into device properties via the web interface, allowing execution in visitor browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-18997/"}
