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-2018-9862 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-2018-9862/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9862/index.md)","id":"CVE-2018-9862","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9862/index.md","name":"CVE-2018-9862","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-xpc5-66vp-j2wh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"container_or_infrastructure","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Docker container runtime","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can gain root access in Docker containers by exploiting numeric username handling in runV via docker exec.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"runv","vendor":"hyper"}],"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-838","name":"Inappropriate Encoding for Output Context"}],"description":"util.c in runV 1.0.0 for Docker mishandles a numeric username, which allows attackers to obtain root access by leveraging the presence of an initial numeric value on an /etc/passwd line, and then issuing a \"docker exec\" command with that value in the -u argument, a similar issue to CVE-2016-3697.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9862","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2018"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-9864"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Enhanced Image plugin for CKEditor is vulnerable to Cross-site scripting (XSS)","id":"CVE-2018-9861"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2018-04-09","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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain root access in Docker containers by exploiting numeric username handling in runV via docker exec.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2018-9862/"}
