Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-6442 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Broadcom Fabric Operating System. 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-2018-6442/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6442/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6442","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6442/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6442","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-hgqw-w4gh-864c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Brocade Fabric OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands via the Brocade Webtools firmware update section in Fabric OS.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"brocade","cpe":[{"product":"fabric_operating_system","vendor":"broadcom"}],"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":[],"description":"A vulnerability in the Brocade Webtools firmware update section of Brocade Fabric OS before 8.2.1, 8.1.2f, 8.0.2f, 7.4.2d could allow remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands.","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":"Command injection in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2018-6442","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"broadcom:fabric_operating_system","products":["broadcom:fabric_operating_system"],"type":"command_injection","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Brocade Network Advisor","id":"CVE-2018-6443"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2018-6441"},"products":["Brocade Fabric OS"],"published":"2018-11-08","related":[{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Broadcom Brocade Fabric OS Code Injection","id":"CVE-2025-1976","kev_date_added":"2025-04-28","published":"2025-04-24"},{"cvss_score":8.3,"headline":"Linux Kernel Heap Out-of-Bounds Write","id":"CVE-2021-22555","kev_date_added":"2025-10-06","published":"2021-07-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2022-33186","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-12-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2021-27797","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-02-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Code injection in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2020-15371","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2020-15373","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Brocade Fabric OS","id":"CVE-2020-15374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-25"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Brocade Communications Systems, Inc."]},"summary":"Remote authenticated attackers can execute arbitrary commands via the Brocade Webtools firmware update section in Fabric OS.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6442/"}
