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-2018-9233 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-2018-9233/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9233/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9233","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9233/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9233","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q6q9-4v2f-8943"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Endpoint Protection","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can crack unsalted SHA-1 password hashes to modify malware settings, requiring an upgrade to secure password storage.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"endpoint_protection","vendor":"sophos"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-916","name":"Use of Password Hash With Insufficient Computational Effort"}],"description":"Sophos Endpoint Protection 10.7 uses an unsalted SHA-1 hash for password storage in %PROGRAMDATA%\\Sophos\\Sophos Anti-Virus\\Config\\machine.xml, which makes it easier for attackers to determine a cleartext password, and subsequently choose unsafe malware settings, via rainbow tables or other approaches.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2018-04-06","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2018-04-06","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"44411","stars":null,"title":"Sophos Endpoint Protection Control Panel 10.7 - Weak Password Encryption"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9233","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9234"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9232"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-05","related":[{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-4863","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-04-05"}],"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 crack unsalted SHA-1 password hashes to modify malware settings, requiring an upgrade to secure password storage.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9233/"}
