It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-8838 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: ICS-CERT Yokogawa CENTUM and Exaopc. 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-2018-8838/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8838/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8838","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8838/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8838","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4cv8-c362-f6hv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"ics_ot","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Yokogawa CENTUM","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"A local attacker can exploit weak access controls in the message management function to modify data and cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"missing_authorization"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"icscert","cpe":[{"product":"b\\/m9000_cs","vendor":"yokogawa"},{"product":"b\\/m9000_vp","vendor":"yokogawa"},{"product":"centum_cs_3000","vendor":"yokogawa"},{"product":"centum_vp","vendor":"yokogawa"},{"product":"exaopc","vendor":"yokogawa"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"A weakness in access controls in CENTUM CS 1000 all versions, CENTUM CS 3000 versions R3.09.50 and earlier, CENTUM CS 3000 Small versions R3.09.50 and earlier, CENTUM VP versions R6.03.10 and earlier, CENTUM VP Small versions R6.03.10 and earlier, CENTUM VP Basic versions R6.03.10 and earlier, Exaopc versions R3.75.00 and earlier, B/M9000 CS all versions, and B/M9000 VP versions R8.01.01 and earlier may allow a local attacker to exploit the message management function of the system.
