An attacker needs administrator access to exploit it, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-4858 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Splunk Splunk. 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-2016-4858/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4858/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4858","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4858/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4858","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jqwm-h8cf-c265"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Splunk Enterprise","requires_auth":"high_privilege","summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into Splunk Enterprise, potentially compromising user sessions or data.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"jpcert","cpe":[{"product":"splunk","vendor":"splunk"}],"cvss":{"score":4.8,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-79","name":"Improper Neutralization of Input During Web Page Generation"}],"description":"Cross-site scripting vulnerability in Splunk Enterprise 6.4.x prior to 6.4.2, Splunk Enterprise 6.3.x prior to 6.3.6, Splunk Enterprise 6.2.x prior to 6.2.10, Splunk Enterprise 6.1.x prior to 6.1.11, Splunk Enterprise 6.0.x prior to 6.0.12, Splunk Enterprise 5.0.x prior to 5.0.16 and Splunk Light prior to 6.4.2 allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via unspecified vectors.","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":"Cross-site scripting in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-4858","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"splunk:splunk","products":["splunk:splunk"],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Open redirect in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-4859"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Open redirect in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2016-4857"},"products":["Splunk Enterprise","Splunk Light"],"published":"2017-05-12","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Splunk Enterprise Missing Authentication for Critical Function","id":"CVE-2026-20253","kev_date_added":"2026-06-18","published":"2026-06-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Missing Authentication for Critical Function in the Patroni REST API in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76268","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Neutralization in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76284","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Improper Adherence to Coding Standards in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76285","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-07"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-17067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-11-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-01-10"},{"cvss_score":9.4,"headline":"Improper Access Control through Embedded Report REST API Requests in Splunk Enterprise","id":"CVE-2026-76310","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-08-19"}],"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":["Splunk Inc."]},"summary":"Remote attackers can inject arbitrary web script or HTML into Splunk Enterprise, potentially compromising user sessions or data.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4858/"}
