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-2016-2166 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.qpid:proton-j (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 0.12.1\n- org.apache.qpid:proton-j (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 0.12.1\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-2016-2166/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2166/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2166","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2166/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2166","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-f5cf-f7px-xpmh","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2166","openSUSE-SU-2024:10217-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","data_modify"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Apache Qpid Proton","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can intercept or modify data when SSL is unavailable, as the library fails to enforce encryption for amqps URIs.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"qpid_proton","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"}],"cvss":{"score":6.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"The (1) proton.reactor.Connector, (2) proton.reactor.Container, and (3) proton.utils.BlockingConnection classes in Apache Qpid Proton before 0.12.1 improperly use an unencrypted connection for an amqps URI scheme when SSL support is unavailable, which might allow man-in-the-middle attackers to obtain sensitive information or modify data via unspecified vectors.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Moderate severity vulnerability that affects org.apache.qpid:proton-j","id":"CVE-2016-2166","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"fedoraproject:fedora","products":["fedoraproject:fedora"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2167"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["0.12.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.qpid:proton-j","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-f5cf-f7px-xpmh"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["0.12.1"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.qpid:proton-j","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.qpid/proton-j","source":"GHSA-f5cf-f7px-xpmh"}],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Cloud Foundry","id":"CVE-2016-2165"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-12","related":[{"cvss_score":5.9,"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4467","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-02"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"Man-in-the-middle attackers can intercept or modify data when SSL is unavailable, as the library fails to enforce encryption for amqps URIs.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2166/"}
