An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2018-8495 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2018-8495 is a high-severity path traversal vulnerability in Microsoft Windows 10, published on 10 Oct 2018. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-8495 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10. 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-2018-8495/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8495/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8495","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8495/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8495","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mc99-9q9v-9cj5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows Shell","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by exploiting improper URI handling in Windows Shell, affecting Windows 10 and Server 2016.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2016","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"A remote code execution vulnerability exists when Windows Shell improperly handles URIs, aka \"Windows Shell Remote Code Execution Vulnerability.\" This affects Windows Server 2016, Windows 10, Windows 10 Servers.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2018-10-12","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":10,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-10-12T16:49:57Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/whereisr0da/CVE-2018-8495-POC","stars":10,"title":"Simple poc of CVE-2018-8495 Microsoft Edge Remote Code Execution"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in Windows 10","id":"CVE-2018-8495","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10","products":["microsoft:windows_10","microsoft:windows_server_2016"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in Windows 10","id":"CVE-2018-8497"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in Windows 10","id":"CVE-2018-8494"},"products":["Windows 10","Windows 10 Servers","Windows Server 2016"],"published":"2018-10-10","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Adobe Type Manager Library Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2015-2426","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-20"},{"cvss_score":6.6,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Mount Manager Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2015-1769","kev_date_added":"2022-05-25","published":"2015-08-15"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Windows Hard Link Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2020-1467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-08-17"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows TCP/IP Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26424","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-08-12"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-28476","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-05-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Windows Hyper-V Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-26867","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in Windows","id":"CVE-2019-1384","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-12"}],"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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["Microsoft"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code by exploiting improper URI handling in Windows Shell, affecting Windows 10 and Server 2016.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8495/"}
