Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-2912 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-2016-2912/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2912/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2912","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2912/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2912","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-37qg-w54x-3w6h"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Rational Publishing Engine","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL in IBM Rational Publishing Engine.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"engineering_lifecycle_optimization_-_publishing","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Document Builder in IBM Rational Publishing Engine (aka RPENG) 2.0.1 before ifix002 allows remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL.","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 scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2912","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"File upload in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2914"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"XML external entity in Access Manager","id":"CVE-2016-2908"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-08-08","related":[{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Information disclosure in Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Publishing","id":"CVE-2021-39019","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-14"},{"cvss_score":5.7,"headline":"File upload in Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Publishing","id":"CVE-2021-39017","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Publishing","id":"CVE-2021-39015","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Engineering Lifecycle Optimization Publishing","id":"CVE-2021-39028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-07-14"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Rational Publishing Engine","id":"CVE-2019-4431","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-02-12"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Rational Publishing Engine","id":"CVE-2018-1657","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-04"},{"cvss_score":5.4,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Rational Publishing Engine","id":"CVE-2018-1951","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-01-04"}],"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 authenticated users can inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted URL in IBM Rational Publishing Engine.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2912/"}
