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: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-4638 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Mac Os X. 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-2016-4638/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4638/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4638","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4638/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4638","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j28j-2j52-rv8w"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"macOS Login Window","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can gain privileges via a crafted app exploiting a type confusion in the macOS Login Window.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"mac_os_x","vendor":"apple"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Login Window in Apple OS X before 10.11.6 allows attackers to gain privileges via a crafted app that leverages a \"type confusion.\"","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4638","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:mac_os_x","products":["apple:mac_os_x"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":4,"next":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4639"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4637"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-07-22","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU Bourne-Again Shell (Bash) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-7169","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-09-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"GNU Bourne-Again Shell (Bash) Arbitrary Code Execution","id":"CVE-2014-6271","kev_date_added":"2022-01-28","published":"2014-09-24"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"PHP-CGI Query String Parameter","id":"CVE-2012-1823","kev_date_added":"2022-03-25","published":"2012-05-11"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple macOS Unspecified","id":"CVE-2021-30713","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple macOS Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8526","kev_date_added":"2023-04-17","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple OS X Authentication Bypass","id":"CVE-2015-1130","kev_date_added":"2022-02-10","published":"2015-04-10"},{"cvss_score":5.5,"headline":"Apple macOS Out-of-Bounds Read","id":"CVE-2022-22674","kev_date_added":"2022-04-04","published":"2022-05-26"}],"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)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-06","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"Attackers can gain privileges via a crafted app exploiting a type confusion in the macOS Login Window.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4638/"}
