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-2018-6491 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Micro Focus Universal CMDB. 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-2018-6491/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6491/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6491","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6491/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6491","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-5qwv-v7xm-m2h7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Universal CMDB","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges in Micro Focus Universal CMDB via installation file access control flaws, requiring immediate patching.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"ucmdb_configuration_manager","vendor":"microfocus"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Local Escalation of Privilege vulnerability to Micro Focus Universal CMDB, versions 10.20, 10.21, 10.22, 10.30, 10.31, 10.32, 10.33, 11.00.
