{"id":"GHSA-xx65-cc7g-9pfp","summary":"Moderate severity vulnerability that affects org.springframework.boot:spring-boot","details":"Spring Boot supports an embedded launch script that can be used to easily run the application as a systemd or init.d linux service. The script included with Spring Boot 1.5.9 and earlier and 2.0.0.M1 through 2.0.0.M7 is susceptible to a symlink attack which allows the \"run_user\" to overwrite and take ownership of any file on the same system. In order to instigate the attack, the application must be installed as a service and the \"run_user\" requires shell access to the server. Spring Boot application that are not installed as a service, or are not using the embedded launch script are not susceptible.","aliases":["CVE-2018-1196"],"modified":"2023-11-08T03:59:48.367735Z","published":"2018-10-18T18:05:57Z","database_specific":{"github_reviewed_at":"2020-06-16T22:04:53Z","nvd_published_at":"2018-03-19T18:29:00Z","cwe_ids":["CWE-59"],"severity":"MODERATE","github_reviewed":true},"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-1196"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-xx65-cc7g-9pfp"},{"type":"WEB","url":"https://pivotal.io/security/cve-2018-1196"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"org.springframework.boot:spring-boot","ecosystem":"Maven","purl":"pkg:maven/org.springframework.boot/spring-boot"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"1.5.0"},{"fixed":"1.5.10"}]}],"versions":["1.5.0.RELEASE","1.5.1.RELEASE","1.5.2.RELEASE","1.5.3.RELEASE","1.5.4.RELEASE","1.5.5.RELEASE","1.5.6.RELEASE","1.5.7.RELEASE","1.5.8.RELEASE","1.5.9.RELEASE"],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/github/advisory-database/blob/main/advisories/github-reviewed/2018/10/GHSA-xx65-cc7g-9pfp/GHSA-xx65-cc7g-9pfp.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N"}]}
