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-2016-2788 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Puppet Puppet Enterprise. 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-2016-2788/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2788/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2788","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2788/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2788","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-2788","GHSA-v3fx-f8x7-f9vf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"MCollective server","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on MCollective servers via the mco ping command, requiring an upgrade to secure the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"marionette_collective","vendor":"puppet"},{"product":"puppet_enterprise","vendor":"puppet"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-284","name":"Improper Access Control"}],"description":"MCollective 2.7.0 and 2.8.x before 2.8.9, as used in Puppet Enterprise, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via vectors related to the mco ping command.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2788","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"puppet:puppet_enterprise","products":["puppet:puppet_enterprise"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2789"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2787"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-02-13","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":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code on MCollective servers via the mco ping command, requiring an upgrade to secure the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2788/"}
