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-2018-3778 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- aedes (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.35.1\n- aedes (npm): affected all versions; fixed in 0.35.1\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-2018-3778/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3778/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-3778","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3778/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-3778","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4cmx-hrq9-c23p"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MQTT broker library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can publish Last Will and Testament messages to unauthorized channels in the aedes MQTT broker library.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hackerone","cpe":[{"product":"aedes","vendor":"aedes_project"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-285","name":"Improper Authorization"}],"description":"Improper authorization in aedes version \u003c0.35.0 will publish a LWT in a channel when a client is not authorized.","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":"Improper Authorization in aedes","id":"CVE-2018-3778","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"npm","product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"active-support impersonates 'activesupport' gem","id":"CVE-2018-3779"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["0.35.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"aedes","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4cmx-hrq9-c23p"},{"ecosystem":"npm","fixed":["0.35.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"aedes","purl":"pkg:npm/aedes","source":"GHSA-4cmx-hrq9-c23p"}],"prev":{"headline":"restforce vulnerable to Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2018-3777"},"products":["aedes"],"published":"2018-08-08","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Improper exception handling in Aedes","id":"CVE-2020-13410","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-26"}],"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":"An attacker can publish Last Will and Testament messages to unauthorized channels in the aedes MQTT broker library.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-3778/"}
