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-2018-7792 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Schneider Electric SE Modicon M221, all references, all versions prior to firmware V1.6.2.0. 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-2018-7792/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7792/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-7792","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-7792/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-7792","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7w2v-5m57-6fj5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Modicon PLC","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can decode passwords using rainbow tables to gain unauthorized access to Schneider Electric Modicon M221 PLCs.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"schneider","cpe":[{"product":"modicon_m221_firmware","vendor":"schneider-electric"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-862","name":"Missing Authorization"},{"id":"CWE-327","name":"Use of a Broken or Risky Cryptographic Algorithm"}],"description":"A Permissions, Privileges, and Access Control vulnerability exists in Schneider Electric's Modicon M221 product (all references, all versions prior to firmware V1.6.2.0).
