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-2016-4171 in the wild since at least 25 Mar 2022.\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-2016-4171/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4171/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4171","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4171/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4171","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-mgfm-9xxf-m8pm","UBUNTU-CVE-2016-4171"],"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":"opensuse","vendor":"opensuse"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_desktop","vendor":"redhat"},{"product":"enterprise_linux_server","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":"Unspecified vulnerability in Adobe Flash Player 21.0.0.242 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via unknown vectors, as exploited in the wild in June 2016.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"exploited"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Remote Code Execution","id":"CVE-2016-4171","indexable":true,"kev":{"dateAdded":"2022-03-25","dueDate":"2022-04-15","knownRansomwareCampaignUse":"Unknown","product":"Flash Player","requiredAction":"The impacted product is end-of-life and should be disconnected if still in use.","vendorProject":"Adobe","vulnerabilityName":"Adobe Flash Player Remote Code Execution Vulnerability"},"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"adobe:flash_player","products":["adobe:flash_player","opensuse:opensuse","redhat:enterprise_linux_desktop","redhat:enterprise_linux_server","redhat:enterprise_linux_workstation","suse:linux_enterprise_desktop","suse:linux_enterprise_workstation_extension"],"type":"code_injection","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":10,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4172"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4170"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-06-16","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Type Confusion","id":"CVE-2017-11292","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2017-10-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2016-7892","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2016-12-15"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2016-7855","kev_date_added":"2022-03-03","published":"2016-11-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Integer Underflow Vulnerablity","id":"CVE-2014-0497","kev_date_added":"2024-09-17","published":"2014-02-05"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Incorrect Default Permissions","id":"CVE-2013-0643","kev_date_added":"2024-09-17","published":"2013-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Code Execution","id":"CVE-2013-0648","kev_date_added":"2024-09-17","published":"2013-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Adobe Flash Player Integer Overflow","id":"CVE-2012-5054","kev_date_added":"2022-06-08","published":"2012-09-24"}],"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":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"active","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2025-11-17","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Remote attackers can execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors in Adobe Flash Player, requiring users to upgrade immediately.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4171/"}
