An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-0956 exists.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.servlets.post (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.8\n- org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.servlets.post (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 2.3.8\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-2016-0956/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0956/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-0956","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0956/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-0956","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-m27m-628v-xxp2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Sling Servlets","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can obtain sensitive information from the Apache Sling Servlets Post component, affecting Adobe Experience Manager deployments.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"experience_manager","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"sling","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The Servlets Post component 2.3.6 in Apache Sling, as used in Adobe Experience Manager 5.6.1, 6.0.0, and 6.1.0, allows remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-02-10","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-02-10","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39435","stars":null,"title":"Apache Sling Framework (Adobe AEM) 2.3.6 - Information Disclosure"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor in Apache Sling Servlets Post","id":"CVE-2016-0956","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"adobe:experience_manager","products":["adobe:experience_manager"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0957"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.3.8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.servlets.post","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-m27m-628v-xxp2"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.3.8"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.servlets.post","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.sling/org.apache.sling.servlets.post","source":"GHSA-m27m-628v-xxp2"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-0955"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-02-10","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager | Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863)","id":"CVE-2026-90532","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager | Improper Input Validation (CWE-20)","id":"CVE-2026-105895","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-13"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager | Incorrect Authorization (CWE-863)","id":"CVE-2026-19232","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Adobe Experience Manager (MS) | Deserialization of Untrusted Data (CWE-502)","id":"CVE-2025-49533","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-07-08"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"AEM Forms Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference","id":"CVE-2021-40722","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-01-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in Adobe Experience Manager","id":"CVE-2019-8088","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-10-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Adobe Experience Manager","id":"CVE-2019-7964","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-16"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can obtain sensitive information from the Apache Sling Servlets Post component, affecting Adobe Experience Manager deployments.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-0956/"}
