An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-3388 exists.\n\nAffected product: Microsoft Edge. 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-2016-3388/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3388/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3388","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3388/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3388","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-c7mr-44hx-9566"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Microsoft Internet Explorer","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can gain elevated privileges in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge due to improper restriction of private namespaces.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"microsoft","cpe":[{"product":"edge","vendor":"microsoft"},{"product":"internet_explorer","vendor":"microsoft"}],"cvss":{"score":5.3,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Microsoft Internet Explorer 10 and 11 and Microsoft Edge do not properly restrict access to private namespaces, which allows remote attackers to gain privileges via unspecified vectors, aka \"Microsoft Browser Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability,\" a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-3387.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-10-20","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-10-20","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"40606","stars":null,"title":"Microsoft Windows Edge/Internet Explorer - Isolated Private Namespace Insecure DACL Privilege Escalation (MS16-118)"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3388","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"microsoft:edge","products":["microsoft:edge","microsoft:internet_explorer"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2016-3389"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3387"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-10-14","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-26411","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-03-11"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-7200","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2016-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Microsoft Edge Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-7201","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2016-11-10"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2017-0037","kev_date_added":"2022-03-28","published":"2017-02-26"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2016-3351","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-09-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in Microsoft ChakraCore","id":"CVE-2017-0028","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-07-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"ChakraCore RCE Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2017-0223","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-05-15"}],"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)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"GPL-2.0-or-later","name":"Exploit-DB"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can gain elevated privileges in Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge due to improper restriction of private namespaces.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3388/"}
