An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2016-4004 exists.\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-2016-4004/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4004/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4004","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4004/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4004","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-8j88-pw27-gh88"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Dell OpenManage Server Administrator","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files via directory traversal in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"openmanage_server_administrator","vendor":"dell"}],"cvss":{"score":4.9,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"Directory traversal vulnerability in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) 8.2 allows remote authenticated administrators to read arbitrary files via a ..\\ (dot dot backslash) in the file parameter to ViewFile.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-02-23","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":2,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2022-11-30T22:34:58Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/und3sc0n0c1d0/AFR-in-OMSA","stars":2,"title":"Validation of Arbitrary File Read Vulnerabilities in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator (OMSA) - CVE-2016-4004, CVE-2021-21514 and CVE-2020-5377."},{"date":"2016-02-23","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"39486","stars":null,"title":"Dell OpenManage Server Administrator 8.2 - (Authenticated) Directory Traversal"}],"tier":"weaponised"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4004","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Weak cryptography in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4005"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site Scripting in Apache Struts","id":"CVE-2016-4003"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-04-12","related":[{"cvss_score":8.6,"headline":"Auth bypass in Dell Open Manage Server Administrator","id":"CVE-2021-21513","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2021-03-02"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Privilege escalation in OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Patch) for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-81442","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Auth bypass in OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Patch) for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-81475","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Dell OpenManage Server Administrator, versions prior to 11.1.0.3, contains an Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Comm","id":"CVE-2026-81476","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-17"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Patch) for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-81478","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-17"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node (Patch) for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-81474","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-09-17"},{"cvss_score":7.7,"headline":"Auth bypass in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Managed Node for RHEL 8.10","id":"CVE-2026-56793","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-07"}],"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"},{"class":"open","licence":"CC0","name":"PoC-in-GitHub"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote authenticated administrators can read arbitrary files via directory traversal in Dell OpenManage Server Administrator.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4004/"}
