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-2018-8955 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-2018-8955/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8955/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-8955","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8955/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-8955","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mf9c-7798-47gf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"BitDefender GravityZone installer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by manipulating the installer filename to alter metadata URLs, bypassing digital signature checks.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"gravityzone","vendor":"bitdefender"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-347","name":"Improper Verification of Cryptographic Signature"}],"description":"The installer for BitDefender GravityZone relies on an encoded string in a filename to determine the URL for installation metadata, which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by changing the filename while leaving the file's digital signature unchanged.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8955","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-8956"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in Workload Control Center","id":"CVE-2018-8954"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-10-24","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8931","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-30"},{"cvss_score":9.5,"headline":"Insecure PHP deserialization issue in GravityZone Console (VA-12634)","id":"CVE-2025-2244","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-04-04"},{"cvss_score":9.2,"headline":"Verbose error handling issue in GravityZone Update Server proxy service","id":"CVE-2024-6980","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Deserialization of Untrusted Data in GravityZone Console On-Premise (VA-10573)","id":"CVE-2022-2830","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-05"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Host whitelist parser issue in GravityZone Console On-Premise (VA-11554)","id":"CVE-2024-4177","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-06-06"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Privilege Escalation via the GravityZone productManager UpdateServer.KitsManager API (VA-10146)","id":"CVE-2021-3960","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-12-16"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code by manipulating the installer filename to alter metadata URLs, bypassing digital signature checks.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-8955/"}
