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-2023-40518 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-2023-40518/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40518/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-40518","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40518/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-40518","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-qg79-g97j-8qg5"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["other"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"OpenLiteSpeed web server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"OpenLiteSpeed fails to strictly validate HTTP request headers, potentially allowing unexpected behavior or security bypasses.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"other"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openlitespeed","vendor":"litespeedtech"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"LiteSpeed OpenLiteSpeed before 1.7.18 does not strictly validate HTTP request headers.","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":"Other in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40518","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"other","year":"2023"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-40519"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"LG SuperSign Media Editor ContentRestController getObject Directory Traversal Information Disclosure Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-40517"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2023-08-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-5519","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-01-06"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Authenticated Remote Code Execution in OpenLiteSpeed Web Server","id":"CVE-2022-0073","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege Escalation in OpenLiteSpeed Web Server","id":"CVE-2022-0074","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-10-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2021-26758","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-04-07"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3890","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-09-20"},{"cvss_score":6.7,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19792","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-12-03"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-10-09","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"OpenLiteSpeed fails to strictly validate HTTP request headers, potentially allowing unexpected behavior or security bypasses.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-40518/"}
