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-2018-5393 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: TP-LINK EAP Controller. 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-2018-5393/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5393/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-5393","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5393/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-5393","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-rrgh-7g24-h4hg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"TP-Link EAP Controller","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via unauthenticated RMI deserialization in TP-Link EAP Controller, requiring an upgrade to secure the service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"eap_controller","vendor":"tp-link"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-306","name":"Missing Authentication for Critical Functionality"}],"description":"The TP-LINK EAP Controller is TP-LINK's software for remotely controlling wireless access point devices. It utilizes a Java remote method invocation (RMI) service for remote control. The RMI interface does not require any authentication before use, so it lacks user authentication for RMI service commands in EAP controller versions 2.5.3 and earlier. Remote attackers can implement deserialization attacks through the RMI protocol. Successful attacks may allow a remote attacker to remotely control the target server and execute Java functions or bytecode.","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":"TP-Link EAP Controller versions 2.5.3 and earlier lack RMI authentication","id":"CVE-2018-5393","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"missing_authorization","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in DCU-210E","id":"CVE-2018-5399"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"mingw-w64 version 5.0.4 by default produces executables that opt in to ASLR, but are not compatible with ASLR","id":"CVE-2018-5392"},"products":["EAP Controller"],"published":"2018-09-28","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10166","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-03"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10168","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-03"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10167","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-03"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10164","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-03"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-10165","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-05-03"}],"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":["TP-LINK"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via unauthenticated RMI deserialization in TP-Link EAP Controller, requiring an upgrade to secure the service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5393/"}
