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-2018-9845 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-2018-9845/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9845/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9845","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9845/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9845","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3w57-6469-585x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Etherpad Lite","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain unauthorized admin access to Etherpad Lite instances, allowing full control over the collaborative editing platform.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"etherpad_lite","vendor":"etherpad"}],"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-178","name":"Improper Handling of Case Sensitivity"}],"description":"Etherpad Lite before 1.6.4 is exploitable for admin access.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":1,"refs":[{"date":null,"kind":"nuclei","ref":"http/cves/2018/CVE-2018-9845.yaml","stars":null,"title":"Etherpad Lite \u003c1.6.4 - Admin Authentication Bypass"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9845","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9846"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9844"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-29","related":[{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-6834","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-02-08"}],"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":"MIT","name":"Nuclei templates"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain unauthorized admin access to Etherpad Lite instances, allowing full control over the collaborative editing platform.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9845/"}
