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-2019-8978 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-2019-8978/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8978/index.md)","id":"CVE-2019-8978","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8978/index.md","name":"CVE-2019-8978","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fcm9-r389-xjjv"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Banner Web Tailor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can steal victim sessions and cause denial of service via a race condition in Ellucian Banner Web Tailor and Identity Services.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"race_condition"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"banner_enterprise_identity_services","vendor":"ellucian"},{"product":"banner_web_tailor","vendor":"ellucian"}],"cvss":{"score":8.1,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-362","name":"Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization"},{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"An improper authentication vulnerability can be exploited through a race condition that occurs in Ellucian Banner Web Tailor 8.8.3, 8.8.4, and 8.9 and Banner Enterprise Identity Services 8.3, 8.3.1, 8.3.2, and 8.4, in conjunction with SSO Manager. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to steal a victim's session (and cause a denial of service) by repeatedly requesting the initial Banner Web Tailor main page with the IDMSESSID cookie set to the victim's UDCID, which in the case tested is the institutional ID. During a login attempt by a victim, the attacker can leverage the race condition and will be issued the SESSID that was meant for this victim.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":"2019-05-10","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":9,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2019-05-10T19:46:58Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/SecKatie/CVE-2019-8978","stars":9,"title":"Banner Web Tailor and Banner Enterprise Identity Services Vulnerability Disclosure"}],"tier":"poc_unverified"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-8978","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"race_condition","year":"2019"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-8979"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-8963"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-05-14","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)"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-04","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can steal victim sessions and cause denial of service via a race condition in Ellucian Banner Web Tailor and Identity Services.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2019-8978/"}
