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-2016-2379 in the wild and no public exploit code.\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-2016-2379/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2379/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2379","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2379/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2379","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-465g-5cj6-wf64","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-2379"],"analysis":{"component_type":"mobile_application","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["data_read","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Mxit mobile messenger","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Weak encryption in Mxit allows attackers to decrypt passwords or reuse hashes for unauthorized access.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"weak_cryptography"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"mxit","vendor":"pidgin"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-326","name":"Inadequate Encryption Strength"}],"description":"The Mxit protocol uses weak encryption when encrypting user passwords, which might allow attackers to (1) decrypt hashed passwords by leveraging knowledge of client registration codes or (2) gain login access by eavesdropping on login messages and re-using the hashed passwords.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":false,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2379","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"weak_cryptography","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in Pidgin","id":"CVE-2016-2380"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in Pidgin","id":"CVE-2016-2378"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-29","related":[],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Weak encryption in Mxit allows attackers to decrypt passwords or reuse hashes for unauthorized access.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2379/"}
