It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-20050 exists.\n\nAffected product: Foundstone NetSchedScan. 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-2016-20050/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-20050/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-20050","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-20050/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-20050","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3c69-45qx-vjjh"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network scanning tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Local attackers can crash NetSchedScan by inputting oversized data into the Hostname/IP field, causing a buffer overflow.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"VulnCheck","cpe":[{"product":"netschedscan","vendor":"mcafee"}],"cvss":{"score":6.9,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-787","name":"Out-of-bounds Write"}],"description":"NetSchedScan 1.0 contains a buffer overflow vulnerability in the scan Hostname/IP field that allows local attackers to crash the application by supplying an oversized input string.
