An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2018-9853 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-2018-9853/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9853/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9853","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9853/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9853","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-36w9-v5c5-w4rg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SSH server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers with unprivileged access can escalate privileges to the SSH server process level due to insecure access control.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freesshd","vendor":"freesshd"}],"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-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"Insecure access control in freeSSHd version 1.3.1 allows attackers to obtain the privileges of the freesshd.exe process by leveraging the ability to login to an unprivileged account on the server.","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":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9853","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Kotti CSRF in the local roles implementation","id":"CVE-2018-9856"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9852"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-07-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.3,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-6066","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-12-04"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-6899","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2009-08-05"},{"cvss_score":9,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-4762","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-10-28"},{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2573","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-06-06"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-1000475","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-24"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"freeSSHd denial of service","id":"CVE-2024-0723","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-01-19"}],"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":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers with unprivileged access can escalate privileges to the SSH server process level due to insecure access control.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9853/"}
