An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2006-1016 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Internet Explorer. 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-2006-1016/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1016/index.md)","id":"CVE-2006-1016","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1016/index.md","name":"CVE-2006-1016","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-49mv-qwq8-fv9m"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Internet Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Internet Explorer's IsComponentInstalled method triggered by malicious JavaScript.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Buffer overflow in the IsComponentInstalled method in Internet Explorer 6.0, when used on Windows 2000 before SP4 or Windows XP before SP1, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via JavaScript that calls IsComponentInstalled with a long first argument.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2006-02-24","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2006-02-24","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/windows/browser/ie_iscomponentinstalled","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer isComponentInstalled Overflow"},{"date":"2010-05-09","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"16549","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Internet Explorer - isComponentInstalled Overflow (Metasploit)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1016","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:internet_explorer","products":["microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2006"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1017"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2006-1015"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2006-03-07","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2014-1776","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-04-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2021-27085","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-0222","kev_date_added":"2022-02-25","published":"2017-05-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2017-0210","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-04-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2017-0149","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-03-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2502","kev_date_added":"2022-04-13","published":"2015-08-19"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2015-2419","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2015-07-14"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"BSD-3-Clause","name":"Metasploit"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-07","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via a buffer overflow in Internet Explorer's IsComponentInstalled method triggered by malicious JavaScript.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2006-1016/"}
