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-2018-6979 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: VMware Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management Console (AirWatch Console). 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-2018-6979/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6979/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-6979","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-6979/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-6979","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x3h9-mvmc-w828"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["account_takeover","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"VMware Workspace ONE","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can bypass SAML authentication during device enrollment to impersonate sessions or disclose information in VMware Workspace ONE UEM.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"vmware","cpe":[{"product":"airwatch_console","vendor":"vmware"}],"cvss":{"score":7.4,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"The VMware Workspace ONE Unified Endpoint Management Console (A/W Console) 9.7.x prior to 9.7.0.3, 9.6.x prior to 9.6.0.7, 9.5.x prior to 9.5.0.16, 9.4.x prior to 9.4.0.22, 9.3.x prior to 9.3.0.25, 9.2.x prior to 9.2.3.27, and 9.1.x prior to 9.1.5.6 contains a SAML authentication bypass vulnerability which can be leveraged during device enrollment.
