Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-5543 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 Container Connector. 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-2018-5543/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5543/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-5543","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5543/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-5543","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-85mh-wphv-chhh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kubernetes controller","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can read BIG-IP credentials from command line parameters in the F5 BIG-IP Controller for Kubernetes, exposing sensitive authentication data.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"big-ip_controller","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"The F5 BIG-IP Controller for Kubernetes 1.0.0-1.5.0 (k8s-bigip-crtl) passes BIG-IP username and password as command line parameters, which may lead to disclosure of the credentials used by the container.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Information disclosure in F5 Container Connector","id":"CVE-2018-5543","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in BIG-IP (APM)","id":"CVE-2018-5544"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in BIG-IP (LTM, AAM, AFM, Analytics, APM, ASM, DNS, Edge Gateway, FPS, GTM, Link Controller, PEM, WebAccelerator)","id":"CVE-2018-5542"},"products":["F5 Container Connector"],"published":"2018-07-31","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Alpine Linux","id":"CVE-2019-5021","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-05-08"}],"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":"2024-09-17","vendors":["F5 Networks, Inc."]},"summary":"Attackers can read BIG-IP credentials from command line parameters in the F5 BIG-IP Controller for Kubernetes, exposing sensitive authentication data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5543/"}
