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-2019-18909 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: HP ThinPro Linux. 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-2019-18909/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-18909/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-18909","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-18909/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-18909","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-2mcx-9373-6qh4"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"HP ThinPro Linux","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can inject commands into HP ThinPro VPN software to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"command_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"hp","cpe":[{"product":"thinpro","vendor":"hp"}],"cvss":{"score":8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-78","name":"Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command"}],"description":"The VPN software within HP ThinPro does not safely handle user supplied input, which may be leveraged by an attacker to inject commands that will execute with root privileges.","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":"Command injection in ThinPro Linux","id":"CVE-2019-18909","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"command_injection","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Command injection in ThinPro Linux","id":"CVE-2019-18910"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"cryptctl: client side password hashing is equivalent to clear text password storage","id":"CVE-2019-18906"},"products":["ThinPro Linux"],"published":"2019-11-22","related":[{"cvss_score":8.5,"headline":"HP ThinPro 8.1 SP8 Security Updates","id":"CVE-2025-43017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-10-28"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in HP ThinPro","id":"CVE-2017-2740","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-01-23"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2246","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-12-29"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in ThinPro Linux","id":"CVE-2019-16287","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Command injection in ThinPro Linux","id":"CVE-2019-18910","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-22"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Other in HP ThinPro OS","id":"CVE-2022-1602","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-09-13"}],"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":["HP"]},"summary":"Attackers can inject commands into HP ThinPro VPN software to execute arbitrary code with root privileges.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-18909/"}
