+====================================================
+CVE-2018-8007: Apache CouchDB Remote Code Execution
+====================================================
+
+:Date: 30.04.2018
+
+:Affected: All Versions of Apache CouchDB
+
+:Severity: Low
+
+:Vendor: The Apache Software Foundation
+
+Description
+===========
+
+CouchDB administrative users can configure the database server via HTTP(S). Due
+to insufficient validation of administrator-supplied configuration settings via
+the HTTP API, it is possible for a CouchDB administrator user to escalate their
+privileges to that of the operating system's user that CouchDB runs under, by
+bypassing the backlist of configuration settings that are not allowed to be
+modified via the HTTP API.
+
+This privilege escalation effectively allows a CouchDB admin user to gain
+arbitrary remote code execution, bypassing :ref:`CVE-2017-12636 <cve/2017-12636>`
+
+Mitigation
+==========
+
+All users should upgrade to CouchDB :ref:`1.7.2 <release/1.7.2>` or
+:ref:`2.1.2 <release/2.1.2>`.
+
+Upgrades from previous 1.x and 2.x versions in the same series should be
+seamless.
+
+Users on earlier versions, or users upgrading from 1.x to 2.x should consult
+with upgrade notes.
