It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-6461 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-2018-6461/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6461/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6461","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6461/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6461","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xqj3-xhhm-rh7c"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"CVS client software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain privileges by placing malicious DLLs in the working directory, affecting March Hare WINCVS and CVS Suite users.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wincvs","vendor":"march-hare"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-426","name":"Untrusted Search Path"}],"description":"March Hare WINCVS before 2.8.01 build 6610, and CVS Suite before 2009R2 build 6610, contains an Insecure Library Loading vulnerability in the wincvs2.exe or wincvs.exe file, which may allow local users to gain privileges via a Trojan horse Python or TCL DLL file in the current working directory.","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":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6461","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6462"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6460"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-02-05","related":[],"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":"Local attackers can gain privileges by placing malicious DLLs in the working directory, affecting March Hare WINCVS and CVS Suite users.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6461/"}
