An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-1438 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Cisco Asyncos. 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-2016-1438/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1438/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1438","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1438/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1438","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f5gp-267j-g6xq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"network_device","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Email Security Appliance","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can bypass spam filtering on Cisco Email Security Appliances by sending crafted executable content in ZIP archives.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"security_feature_bypass"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"cisco","cpe":[{"product":"asyncos","vendor":"cisco"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-254","name":null},{"id":"CWE-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"Cisco AsyncOS 9.7.0-125 on Email Security Appliance (ESA) devices allows remote attackers to bypass intended spam filtering via crafted executable content in a ZIP archive, aka Bug ID CSCuy39210.","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":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1438","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"cisco:asyncos","products":["cisco:asyncos"],"type":"security_feature_bypass","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1439"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1437"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-06-23","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Cisco Multiple Products Improper Input Validation","id":"CVE-2025-20393","kev_date_added":"2025-12-17","published":"2025-12-17"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco Secure Email Gateway Relative Path Traversal","id":"CVE-2026-76519","kev_date_added":"2026-10-14","published":"2026-10-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Cisco Secure Email Gateway SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2026-76461","kev_date_added":"2026-09-14","published":"2026-09-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in Cisco Secure Web Appliance","id":"CVE-2024-20435","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-07-17"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cisco Web Security Appliance Unauthorized Device Reset Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-15956","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-11-26"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Web Security Appliance Proxy Service Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2021-34698","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-10-06"},{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Cisco Email Security Appliance Denial of Service Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2019-1947","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-09-23"}],"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":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can bypass spam filtering on Cisco Email Security Appliances by sending crafted executable content in ZIP archives.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1438/"}
