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-2018-6873 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-2018-6873/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6873/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6873","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6873/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6873","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mc68-wpcg-f86r"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Auth0 authentication service","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting missing JWT audience validation in the Auth0 authentication service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"auth0.js","vendor":"auth0"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"The Auth0 authentication service before 2017-10-15 allows privilege escalation because the JWT audience is not validated.","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":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6873","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Auth0","id":"CVE-2018-6874"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6872"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-04","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) in Auth0","id":"CVE-2018-6874","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-04"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Auth0-js bypasses CSRF checks","id":"CVE-2018-7307","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-03-06"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Authorization header is not sanitized in an error object in auth0","id":"CVE-2020-15125","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-07-29"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"auth0-js Privilege Escalation Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-17068","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-12-06"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Improper Permission Checking in Auth.js SDK","id":"CVE-2026-42280","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-05-27"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Information disclosure through error object","id":"CVE-2020-5263","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-04-09"}],"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":"Attackers can escalate privileges by exploiting missing JWT audience validation in the Auth0 authentication service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6873/"}
