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-2016-2991 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-2016-2991/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2991/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-2991","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2991/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-2991","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-3r9g-m93g-x73x"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"IBM Lotus Protector","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated users can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"ibm","cpe":[{"product":"lotus_protector_for_mail_security","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":"Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security 2.8.0.0 through 2.8.1.0 before 2.8.1.0-22115 allow remote authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified 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":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2991","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in BigInsights","id":"CVE-2016-2992"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Open redirect in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-2989"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-12-01","related":[{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0886","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-25"},{"cvss_score":7.1,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0887","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-25"},{"cvss_score":6.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0885","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-25"},{"cvss_score":4.3,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2955","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-07-20"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-0884","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2014-03-25"},{"cvss_score":3.5,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-2202","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-07-27"}],"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 into IBM Lotus Protector for Mail Security, potentially leading to session hijacking or malicious actions.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-2991/"}
