An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-7079 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Arubanetworks Clearpass Policy Manager. 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-2018-7079/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7079/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-7079","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7079/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-7079","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-9m3x-jcp9-v9rq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network access control","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Low-privilege administrative users can view, modify, or delete guest users due to improper authorization enforcement in Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hpe","cpe":[{"product":"clearpass_policy_manager","vendor":"arubanetworks"}],"cvss":{"score":7.2,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-863","name":"Incorrect Authorization"}],"description":"Aruba ClearPass Policy Manager guest authorization failure.
