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-2016-4698 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Apple Iphone Os. 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-2016-4698/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4698/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4698","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4698/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4698","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-54c5-ch86-wwxj"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"iOS and OS X","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app due to mishandled process entitlements in Apple iOS and OS X.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"apple","cpe":[{"product":"iphone_os","vendor":"apple"},{"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-20","name":"Improper Input Validation"}],"description":"AppleMobileFileIntegrity in Apple iOS before 10 and OS X before 10.12 mishandles process entitlement and Team ID values in the task port inheritance policy, which allows attackers to execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app.","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-2016-4698","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"apple:iphone_os","products":["apple:iphone_os","apple:mac_os_x"],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":6,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4699"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4697"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2016-09-25","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Buffer Overflow","id":"CVE-2021-30666","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2021-30761","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS WebKit Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2021-30762","kev_date_added":"2021-11-03","published":"2021-09-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Webkit Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2016-4657","kev_date_added":"2022-05-24","published":"2016-08-25"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7286","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple iOS Memory Corruption","id":"CVE-2019-7287","kev_date_added":"2022-05-23","published":"2019-12-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Apple Multiple Products Use-After-Free","id":"CVE-2019-8605","kev_date_added":"2022-06-27","published":"2019-12-18"}],"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 execute arbitrary code in a privileged context via a crafted app due to mishandled process entitlements in Apple iOS and OS X.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4698/"}
