It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2016-0151 in the wild since at least 28 Mar 2022, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Windows 10 1507. 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-2016-0151/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0151/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-0151","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0151/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-0151","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m2mf-9mv6-9g77"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Windows CSRSS","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper process token management in the Windows CSRSS component.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"windows_10_1507","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_10_1511","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_rt_8.1","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"windows_server_2012","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-269","name":"Improper Privilege Management"}],"description":"The Client-Server Run-time Subsystem (CSRSS) in Microsoft Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012 Gold and R2, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows 10 Gold and 1511 mismanages process tokens, which allows local users to gain privileges via a crafted application, aka \"Windows CSRSS Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-04-27","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-04-27","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39740","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows - CSRSS BaseSrvCheckVDM Session 0 Process Creation Privilege Escalation (MS16-048)"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Microsoft Windows CSRSS Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2016-0151","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-28","dueDate":"2022-04-18","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Known","product":"Client-Server Run-time Subsystem (CSRSS)","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"Microsoft","vulnerabilityName":"Microsoft Windows CSRSS Security Feature Bypass Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:windows_10_1507","products":["microsoft:windows_10_1507","microsoft:windows_8.1","microsoft:windows_rt_8.1","microsoft:windows_server_2012"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0152"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"HTTP.sys in Microsoft Windows 10 Gold and 1511 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (system hang) via crafted HTTP 2.0 reque","id":"CVE-2016-0150"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Search Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2017-8543","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2017-06-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows External Control of File Name or Path","id":"CVE-2025-33053","kev_date_added":"2025-06-10","published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows SMB Client Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2025-33073","kev_date_added":"2025-10-20","published":"2025-06-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows Task Scheduler Privilege Escalation","id":"CVE-2024-49039","kev_date_added":"2024-11-12","published":"2024-11-12"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Spoofing","id":"CVE-2024-43461","kev_date_added":"2024-09-16","published":"2024-09-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows MSHTML Platform Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2024-30040","kev_date_added":"2024-05-14","published":"2024-05-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Windows SmartScreen Security Feature Bypass","id":"CVE-2023-36025","kev_date_added":"2023-11-14","published":"2023-11-14"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Local attackers can gain elevated privileges by exploiting improper process token management in the Windows CSRSS component.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0151/"}
