It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-2175 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.12\n- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.8.12\n- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox (Maven): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.0.1\n- org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox (Maven): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.0.1\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-2016-2175/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2175/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2175","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2175/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2175","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2175","DLA-505-1","DSA-3606-1","GHSA-4c32-xmgj-2g98","MGASA-2016-0253","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2175","openSUSE-SU-2024:10208-1"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java PDF library","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Attackers can exploit XML External Entity vulnerabilities in Apache PDFBox via crafted PDFs to read sensitive data or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"pdfbox","vendor":"apache"},{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[],"description":"Apache PDFBox before 1.8.12 and 2.x before 2.0.1 does not properly initialize the XML parsers, which allows context-dependent attackers to conduct XML External Entity (XXE) attacks via a crafted PDF.","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":"High severity vulnerability that affects org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox","id":"CVE-2016-2175","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux"],"type":"xxe","year":"2016"},"n_packages":4,"n_references":12,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2176"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.8.12"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4c32-xmgj-2g98"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.8.12"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox","source":"GHSA-4c32-xmgj-2g98"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.1"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-4c32-xmgj-2g98"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.0.1"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.pdfbox:pdfbox","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.pdfbox/pdfbox","source":"GHSA-4c32-xmgj-2g98"}],"prev":{"headline":"SQL injection vulnerability in the policy admin tool in Apache Ranger","id":"CVE-2016-2174"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-06-01","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition in Apache PDFBox","id":"CVE-2018-8036","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-03"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"A carefully crafted PDF file can trigger an OutOfMemory-Exception while loading a tiny file","id":"CVE-2021-31811","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-12"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"A carefully crafted PDF file can trigger an infinite loop while loading the file","id":"CVE-2021-31812","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-06-12"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"A carefully crafted PDF file can trigger an infinite loop while loading the file","id":"CVE-2021-27807","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-19"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"A carefully crafted PDF file can trigger an OutOfMemory-Exception while loading the file","id":"CVE-2021-27906","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-19"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"In Apache PDFBox a carefully crafted PDF file can trigger an extremely long running computation","id":"CVE-2018-11797","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-05"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can exploit XML External Entity vulnerabilities in Apache PDFBox via crafted PDFs to read sensitive data or cause denial of service.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2175/"}
