Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-1609 exists.\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-2016-1609/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1609/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-1609","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1609/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-1609","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wgfp-j8vx-9mxq"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Novell Filr","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted input in user profile fields, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microfocus","cpe":[{"product":"filr","vendor":"novell"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in Novell Filr before 1.2 Security Update 3 and 2.0 before Security Update 2 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted input, as demonstrated by a crafted attribute of an IMG element in the phone field of a user profile.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-07-25","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-07-25","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40161","stars":null,"title":"Micro Focus Filr 2 2.0.0.421/1.2 1.2.0.846 - Multiple Vulnerabilities"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1609","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1610"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1608"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-08-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1608","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1611","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1610","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-01"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-1607","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-08-01"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-5968","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-03-18"}],"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)"},{"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":"Authenticated attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via crafted input in user profile fields, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-1609/"}
