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-2018-3731 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- public (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.1.3\n- public (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.1.3\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-2018-3731/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3731/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-3731","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3731/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-3731","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rwv8-jvff-jq28"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Node.js public module","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A path traversal flaw in a public Node.js module allows attackers to read arbitrary files with known paths.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"public.js","vendor":"public.js_project"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"public node module suffers from a Path Traversal vulnerability due to lack of validation of filePath, which allows a malicious user to read content of any file with known path.","ecosystems":["npm"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Path Traversal in public","id":"CVE-2018-3731","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Path Traversal in resolve-path","id":"CVE-2018-3732"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["0.1.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"public","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-rwv8-jvff-jq28"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["0.1.3"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"public","purl":"pkg:npm/public","source":"GHSA-rwv8-jvff-jq28"}],"prev":{"headline":"Path Traversal in mcstatic","id":"CVE-2018-3730"},"products":["public node module"],"published":"2018-06-07","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-Site Scripting in public","id":"CVE-2018-3747","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-03"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":["HackerOne"]},"summary":"A path traversal flaw in a public Node.js module allows attackers to read arbitrary files with known paths.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3731/"}
