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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-1573 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ubuntu Unity8. 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-2016-1573/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1573/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1573","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1573/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1573","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-x98q-xccc-62q7"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Unity8 desktop shell","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary QML code in Unity8 dash by providing a crafted fallback art property in a scope.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"canonical","cpe":[{"product":"unity8","vendor":"ubports"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-416","name":"Use After Free"}],"description":"Versions of Unity8 before 8.11+16.04.20160122-0ubuntu1 file plugins/Dash/CardCreator.js will execute any code found in place of a fallback image supplied by a scope.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Using a specially crafted fallback art property, scopes can execute arbitrary QML code in context of unity8-dash","id":"CVE-2016-1573","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"code_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-1574"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1572"},"products":["Unity8"],"published":"2019-04-22","related":[{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"MTP service exposed during emergency dialer","id":"CVE-2015-7946","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-07"}],"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":["Ubuntu"]},"summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary QML code in Unity8 dash by providing a crafted fallback art property in a scope.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1573/"}
