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-2016-3674 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.4.9\n- com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream (Maven): affected all versions; fixed in 1.4.9\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-2016-3674/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3674/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3674","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3674/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3674","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2016-3674","DLA-504-1","DSA-3575-1","GHSA-rgh3-987h-wpmw","MGASA-2016-0164","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-3674"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Java XML serialization library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files via crafted XML documents due to XML External Entity vulnerabilities in XStream drivers.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"xxe"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"debian_linux","vendor":"debian"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"},{"product":"jboss_middleware","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"xstream","vendor":"xstream"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Multiple XML external entity (XXE) vulnerabilities in the (1) Dom4JDriver, (2) DomDriver, (3) JDomDriver, (4) JDom2Driver, (5) SjsxpDriver, (6) StandardStaxDriver, and (7) WstxDriver drivers in XStream before 1.4.9 allow remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a crafted XML document.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"XML External Entity Injection in XStream","id":"CVE-2016-3674","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":"debian:debian_linux","products":["debian:debian_linux","fedoraproject:fedora"],"type":"xxe","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":11,"next":{"headline":"SQL injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3675"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.4.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-rgh3-987h-wpmw"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["1.4.9"],"introduced":["0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"com.thoughtworks.xstream:xstream","purl":"pkg:maven/com.thoughtworks.xstream/xstream","source":"GHSA-rgh3-987h-wpmw"}],"prev":{"headline":"DO NOT USE THIS CANDIDATE NUMBER.","id":"CVE-2016-3673"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-05-17","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"ProFTPD Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2015-3306","kev_date_added":"2026-10-08","published":"2015-05-18"},{"cvss_score":9.9,"headline":"RoundCube Webmail Deserialization of Untrusted Data","id":"CVE-2025-49113","kev_date_added":"2026-02-20","published":"2025-06-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU InetUtils Argument Injection","id":"CVE-2026-24061","kev_date_added":"2026-01-26","published":"2026-01-21"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Linux Kernel Improper Check for Unusual or Exceptional Conditions","id":"CVE-2025-39682","kev_date_added":"2026-09-18","published":"2025-09-05"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Mozilla Firefox Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2024-9680","kev_date_added":"2024-10-15","published":"2024-10-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"RARLAB UnRAR Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2022-30333","kev_date_added":"2022-08-09","published":"2022-05-09"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Roundcube Webmail SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2021-44026","kev_date_added":"2023-06-22","published":"2021-11-19"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"yes","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-10-08","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files via crafted XML documents due to XML External Entity vulnerabilities in XStream drivers.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3674/"}
