Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-5545 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: F5 WebSafe Alert Server. 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-2018-5545/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5545/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-5545","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5545/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-5545","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mxr4-27j9-9x37"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 WebSafe Alert Server","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code on F5 WebSafe Alert Server via crafted payloads, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"f5","cpe":[{"product":"websafe_alert_server","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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"On F5 WebSafe Alert Server 1.0.0-4.2.6, a malicious, authenticated user can execute code on the alert server by using a maliciously crafted payload.","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":"Code injection in F5 WebSafe Alert Server","id":"CVE-2018-5545","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in BIG-IP APM client for Linux","id":"CVE-2018-5546"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in BIG-IP (APM)","id":"CVE-2018-5544"},"products":["F5 WebSafe Alert Server"],"published":"2018-09-13","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5235","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-01"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-01"}],"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":"Authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary code on F5 WebSafe Alert Server via crafted payloads, requiring immediate patching.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-5545/"}
