An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-9085 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM System x UEFI. 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-2018-9085/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9085/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9085","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9085/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9085","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-r2wg-439c-8pcq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"hardware_firmware","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_modify","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"System x UEFI firmware","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Administrators can bypass flash write protection to modify Intel SPS and system descriptors on Lenovo and IBM System x servers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"lenovo","cpe":[{"product":"bladecenter_hs23_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"bladecenter_hs23e_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x220_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x222_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x240_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x280_x6_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x440_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x480_x6_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x880_x6_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"idataplex_dx360_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"idataplex_dx360_m4_water_cooled_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3100_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3100_m5_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3250_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3250_m5_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3300_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3500_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3530_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3550_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3630_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3650_m4_bd_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3650_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3650_m4_hd_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3750_m4_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3850_x6_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"system_x3950_x6_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"flex_system_x240_m4_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"flex_system_x440_m4_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"},{"product":"system_x3750_m4_firmware","vendor":"lenovo"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-276","name":"Incorrect Default Permissions"}],"description":"A write protection lock bit was left unset after boot on an older generation of Lenovo and IBM System x servers, potentially allowing an attacker with administrator access to modify the subset of flash memory containing Intel Server Platform Services (SPS) and the system Flash Descriptors.","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":"Missing System x Flash Memory Write Protection Lock Bit","id":"CVE-2018-9085","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Legacy Server BMC Remote Command Injection","id":"CVE-2018-9086"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"System Management Module Vulnerabilities","id":"CVE-2018-9084"},"products":["System x UEFI"],"published":"2018-11-16","related":[{"cvss_score":4.1,"headline":"Denial of service in BladeCenter BIOS","id":"CVE-2019-6155","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-04-22"}],"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":["IBM","Lenovo"]},"summary":"Administrators can bypass flash write protection to modify Intel SPS and system descriptors on Lenovo and IBM System x servers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9085/"}
