An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-2901 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Ibm Websphere Portal. 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-2016-2901/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2901/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2901","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2901/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2901","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-g2j6-p4w9-38x3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["account_takeover","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM WebSphere Portal","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can hijack user authentication to inject XSS sequences in IBM WebSphere Portal via CSRF.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"csrf"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"web_content_manager","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"websphere_portal","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-352","name":"Cross-Site Request Forgery"}],"description":"Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in the PA_Theme_Creator application in IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 CF08 through CF10 and Web Content Manager allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of arbitrary users for requests that insert XSS sequences.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2901","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"ibm:websphere_portal","products":["ibm:websphere_portal"],"type":"csrf","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"XML external entity in Access Manager","id":"CVE-2016-2908"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2894"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-06-26","related":[{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2011-2754","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-07-17"},{"cvss_score":4,"headline":"Missing authorization in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4806","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-05-26"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Race condition in n/a","id":"CVE-2010-4807","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2011-05-26"}],"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":"Attackers can hijack user authentication to inject XSS sequences in IBM WebSphere Portal via CSRF.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2901/"}
