An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2018-9118 exists.\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-2018-9118/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9118/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9118","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9118/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9118","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pgmv-px7h-43x3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cms_plugin","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"WordPress plugin","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability in the WP Background Takeover Advertisements plugin.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"wp_background_takeover_advertisements","vendor":"99robots"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"exports/download.php in the 99 Robots WP Background Takeover Advertisements plugin before 4.1.5 for WordPress has Directory Traversal via a .. in the filename parameter.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-04-09","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":"2018-04-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44417","stars":null,"title":"WordPress Plugin Background Takeover \u003c 4.1.4 - Directory Traversal"},{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2018/CVE-2018-9118.yaml","stars":null,"title":"WordPress 99 Robots WP Background Takeover Advertisements \u003c=4.1.4 - Local File Inclusion"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9118","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9119"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9117"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-12","related":[],"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"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can read arbitrary files on the server by exploiting a directory traversal vulnerability in the WP Background Takeover Advertisements plugin.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9118/"}
