An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2015-3169 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-2015-3169/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3169/index.md)","id":"CVE-2015-3169","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3169/index.md","name":"CVE-2015-3169","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-v8vw-vwqw-5733"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Askbot Q\u0026A platform","requires_auth":"none","summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into Askbot, potentially stealing user sessions or executing code in victim browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"askbot","vendor":"askbot"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in askbot 0.7.51-4.el6.noarch.","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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3169","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2015"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-3170"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in PostgreSQL","id":"CVE-2015-3167"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-09-07","related":[{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"Askbot 0.12.2 - Insecure Direct Object Reference (IDOR)","id":"CVE-2026-1213","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-01-27"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2235","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-05"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-2236","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-05"}],"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":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"An attacker can inject malicious scripts into Askbot, potentially stealing user sessions or executing code in victim browsers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2015-3169/"}
