It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: Yes. Attackers have exploited CVE-2016-4117 in the wild since at least 3 Mar 2022, including in ransomware campaigns.\n\nAffected product: Adobe Flash Player. 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-2016-4117/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4117/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4117","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4117/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4117","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-pg3m-fww2-6vrj","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4117"],"analysis":{"component_type":"browser","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Adobe Flash Player","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors in Adobe Flash Player, requiring users to upgrade immediately.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"code_injection"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"adobe","cpe":[{"product":"flash_player","vendor":"adobe"},{"product":"evergreen","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server_from_rhui","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_workstation","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_desktop","vendor":"suse"},{"product":"linux_enterprise_workstation_extension","vendor":"suse"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cisa-adp","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[],"description":"Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.226 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, as exploited in the wild in May 2016.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":1,"first_seen":"2016-04-27","github_poc":1,"max_poc_stars":1,"metasploit":1,"nuclei":0,"refs":[{"date":"2017-02-23T15:00:10Z","kind":"github_poc","ref":"https://github.com/amit-raut/CVE-2016-4117-Report","stars":1,"title":"A brief report on CVE-2016-4117 (A vulnerability in Adobe Flash)"},{"date":"2016-04-27","kind":"metasploit","ref":"exploit/osx/browser/adobe_flash_delete_range_tl_op","stars":null,"title":"Adobe Flash Player DeleteRangeTimelineOperation Type-Confusion"},{"date":"2019-02-11","kind":"exploitdb","ref":"46339","stars":null,"title":"Adobe Flash Player -
