{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2018-17191","details":"Apache NetBeans (incubating) 9.0 NetBeans Proxy Auto-Configuration (PAC) interpretation is vulnerable for remote command execution (RCE). Using the nashorn script engine the environment of the javascript execution for the Proxy Auto-Configuration leaks privileged objects, that can be used to circumvent the execution limits. If a different script engine was used, no execution limits were in place. Both vectors allow remote code execution.","modified":"2025-10-24T04:47:13Z","published":"2018-12-31T14:29:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2018-17191"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2018-17191"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2018/12/30/1"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/d1c37966a316a326ab4ff4d4bc056322e8adcbe984e8145c0ecda7fa@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2018-17191"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"netbeans","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netbeans@8.1+dfsg2-3?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["8.0.2+dfsg1-4","8.0.2+dfsg1-5","8.1+dfsg1-1","8.1+dfsg2-1","8.1+dfsg2-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"libnb-absolutelayout-java","binary_version":"8.1+dfsg2-3"},{"binary_name":"libnb-apisupport3-java","binary_version":"8.1+dfsg2-3"},{"binary_name":"libnb-ide14-java","binary_version":"8.1+dfsg2-3"},{"binary_version":"8.1+dfsg2-3","binary_name":"libnb-java5-java"},{"binary_name":"netbeans","binary_version":"8.1+dfsg2-3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2018/UBUNTU-CVE-2018-17191.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
