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-2016-2940 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-2016-2940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2940/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2940","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c4gp-x4h5-599j"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM BigFix Remote Control","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can obtain sensitive information from IBM BigFix Remote Control via unspecified vectors, requiring an upgrade to secure the system.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"bigfix_remote_control","vendor":"ibm"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in IBM BigFix Remote Control before 9.1.3 allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information via unknown vectors.","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":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":3,"next":{"headline":"Information disclosure in UrbanCode Deploy","id":"CVE-2016-2941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Domino","id":"CVE-2016-2939"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-11-30","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2944","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2963","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-30"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2929","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2948","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-30"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"Auth bypass in BigFix Remote Control","id":"CVE-2016-2930","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-03"},{"cvss_score":7.3,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2936","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-30"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2933","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2016-11-30"}],"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 obtain sensitive information from IBM BigFix Remote Control via unspecified vectors, requiring an upgrade to secure the system.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2940/"}
