It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-20106 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: SUSE yast2-printer. 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-2018-20106/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20106/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-20106","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-20106/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-20106","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-ghcf-6h3j-46qc"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SUSE YaST printer tool","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Improper escaping in SMB printer settings allows root code execution if a malicious password is entered, affecting SUSE YaST users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"yast2-printer","vendor":"opensuse"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"},{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"In yast2-printer up to and including version 4.0.2 the SMB printer settings don't escape characters in passwords properly.
