An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-9279 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-2018-9279/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9279/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9279","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9279/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9279","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-vfww-2927-4qj3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"UPS management interface","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Attackers can retrieve user passwords in cleartext by viewing the source code of the Eaton UPS web interface, leading to potential account takeover.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"9px_ups_firmware","vendor":"eaton"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-522","name":"Insufficiently Protected Credentials"}],"description":"An issue was discovered on Eaton UPS 9PX 8000 SP devices.
