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-2018-8831 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-2018-8831/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8831/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8831","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8831/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8831","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-h8r8-r3f3-wmh3","UBUNTU-CVE-2018-8831"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Kodi media center","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser context via a malicious playlist in Kodi media center.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"kodi","vendor":"kodi"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"A Persistent XSS vulnerability exists in Kodi (formerly XBMC) through 17.6 that allows the execution of arbitrary HTML/script code in the context of the victim user's browser via a playlist.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-04-18","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-04-18","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44487","stars":null,"title":"Kodi 17.6 - Persistent Cross-Site Scripting"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8831","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8832"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8828"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-18","related":[{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-5982","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-02-28"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-30207","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-07-05"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-42917","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-11-01"},{"cvss_score":4.6,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-23082","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-02-03"}],"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":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary scripts in the victim's browser context via a malicious playlist in Kodi media center.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8831/"}
