An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2016-3976 in the wild since at least 3 Nov 2021.\n\nAffected product: Sap Netweaver Application Server Java. 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-2016-3976/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3976/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-3976","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3976/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-3976","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jvxp-2488-w24g"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"SAP NetWeaver AS Java","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on SAP NetWeaver AS Java servers via directory traversal in the CrashFileDownloadServlet.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"netweaver_application_server_java","vendor":"sap"}],"cvss":{"score":7.5,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","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-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.1 through 7.5 allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a ..\\ (dot dot backslash) in the fileName parameter to CrashFileDownloadServlet, aka SAP Security Note 2234971.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-06-21","github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2016-06-21","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39996","stars":null,"title":"SAP NetWeaver AS JAVA 7.1 \u003c 7.5 - Directory Traversal"}],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2016-3976","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2021-11-03","dueDate":"2022-05-03","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"NetWeaver","requiredAction":"Apply updates per vendor instructions.","vendorProject":"SAP","vulnerabilityName":"SAP NetWeaver Directory Traversal Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"sap:netweaver_application_server_java","products":["sap:netweaver_application_server_java"],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3977"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-3975"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-07","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2020-6287","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2020-07-14"},{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2010-5326","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2016-05-13"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver SQL Injection","id":"CVE-2016-2386","kev_date_added":"2022-06-09","published":"2016-02-16"},{"cvss_score":7.5,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Directory Traversal","id":"CVE-2017-12637","kev_date_added":"2025-03-19","published":"2017-08-07"},{"cvss_score":6.5,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver XML External Entity (XXE)","id":"CVE-2016-9563","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2016-11-23"},{"cvss_score":5.3,"headline":"SAP NetWeaver Information Disclosure","id":"CVE-2016-2388","kev_date_added":"2022-06-09","published":"2016-02-16"}],"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":"open","licence":"CC0 1.0","name":"CISA KEV"},{"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":"yes","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-10-21","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can read arbitrary files on SAP NetWeaver AS Java servers via directory traversal in the CrashFileDownloadServlet.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-3976/"}
