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-2018-4838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Siemens AG EN100 Ethernet module DNP3 variant. 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-2018-4838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-4838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-4838/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-4838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r849-hjqv-324f"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Siemens EN100 Ethernet module","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Unauthenticated attackers can upgrade or downgrade firmware on Siemens EN100 Ethernet modules via the web interface, potentially installing vulnerable versions.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"siemens","cpe":[{"product":"en100_ethernet_module_dnp3_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"en100_ethernet_module_iec_104_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"en100_ethernet_module_iec_61850_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"en100_ethernet_module_modbus_tcp_firmware","vendor":"siemens"},{"product":"en100_ethernet_module_profinet_io_firmware","vendor":"siemens"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"A vulnerability has been identified in EN100 Ethernet module IEC 61850 variant (All versions \u003c V4.30), EN100 Ethernet module DNP3 variant (All versions \u003c V1.04), EN100 Ethernet module PROFINET IO variant (All versions), EN100 Ethernet module Modbus TCP variant (All versions), EN100 Ethernet module IEC 104 variant (All versions \u003c V1.22).
