An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-5342 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2018-5342/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5342/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-5342","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5342/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-5342","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qhqg-4v5v-wwfm"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Desktop Central","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Network services run with superuser privileges, allowing attackers to escalate privileges to root or system level.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"manageengine_desktop_central","vendor":"zohocorp"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-732","name":"Incorrect Permission Assignment for Critical Resource"}],"description":"An issue was discovered in Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central 10.0.124 and 10.0.184: network services (Desktop Central and PostgreSQL) running with a superuser account.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5342","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5344"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-5341"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-18","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Zoho Desktop Central Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2021-44515","kev_date_added":"2021-12-10","published":"2021-12-12"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Zoho ManageEngine Desktop Central File Upload","id":"CVE-2020-10189","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-03-06"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-9371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-12-16"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-15588","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"XML external entity in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-8540","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2013-7390","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-27"}],"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":"Network services run with superuser privileges, allowing attackers to escalate privileges to root or system level.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5342/"}
