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-2016-2908 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: IBM Corporation Access Manager. 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-2016-2908/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2908/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2908","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2908/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2908","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8xx8-9g4g-c4q2"],"analysis":{"component_type":"cloud_service","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Bluemix SSO","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can exploit an XML External Entity flaw in IBM Single Sign On for Bluemix to read arbitrary files or cause denial of service.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"security_access_manager_9.0_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"security_access_manager_for_mobile_8.0_firmware","vendor":"ibm"},{"product":"security_access_manager_for_web_8.0_firmware","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":9.1,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-611","name":"Improper Restriction of XML External Entity Reference"}],"description":"IBM Single Sign On for Bluemix could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by a XML external entity (XXE) error when processing XML data by the XML parser.
