Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2009-5116 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-2009-5116/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5116/index.md)","id":"CVE-2009-5116","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5116/index.md","name":"CVE-2009-5116","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-4r8g-96wp-vqm6"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"McAfee LinuxShield","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can escalate privileges to Admin access on the statistics server by exploiting improper client authentication in McAfee LinuxShield.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"auth_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"linuxshield","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"AV:N/AC:L/Au:S/C:P/I:P/A:P","version":"2.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-287","name":"Improper Authentication"}],"description":"McAfee LinuxShield 1.5.1 and earlier does not properly implement client authentication, which allows remote authenticated users to obtain Admin access to the statistics server by leveraging a client account.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5116","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"auth_bypass","year":"2009"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5117"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2009-5115"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2012-08-22","related":[],"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":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-09-16","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated users can escalate privileges to Admin access on the statistics server by exploiting improper client authentication in McAfee LinuxShield.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2009-5116/"}
