An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, 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-2016-20036 exists.\n\nAffected product: Wowza Streaming Engine. 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-2016-20036/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-20036/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-20036","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-20036/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-20036","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-fmwm-m6m7-5w28"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Wowza Streaming Engine","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts into the Wowza Streaming Engine manager interface, executing arbitrary JavaScript in user browsers.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"streaming_engine","vendor":"wowza"}],"cvss":{"score":5.1,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Wowza Streaming Engine 4.5.0 contains multiple reflected cross-site scripting vulnerabilities in the enginemanager interface where input passed through various parameters is not properly sanitized before being returned to users.
