It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-4976 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected packages and fixed versions:\n- org.apache.ambari:ambari (Maven): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.4.0\n- org.apache.ambari:ambari (Maven): affected from 2.0.0; fixed in 2.4.0\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-2016-4976/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4976/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4976","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4976/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4976","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-q3pw-6vf2-66hf"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Apache Ambari","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can read KDC administrator passwords from process listings in Apache Ambari, exposing sensitive credentials.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"ambari","vendor":"apache"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-200","name":"Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor"}],"description":"Apache Ambari 2.x before 2.4.0 includes KDC administrator passwords on the kadmin command line, which allows local users to obtain sensitive information via a process listing.","ecosystems":["Maven"],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Apache Ambari reveals administrator passwords","id":"CVE-2016-4976","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":"Maven","product":null,"products":[],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":2,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Spring Security OAuth vulnerable to remote code execution (RCE) via specially crafted request using whitelabel views","id":"CVE-2016-4977"},"packages":[{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.4.0"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.ambari:ambari","purl":null,"source":"GHSA-q3pw-6vf2-66hf"},{"ecosystem":"Maven","fixed":["2.4.0"],"introduced":["2.0.0"],"last_affected":[],"package":"org.apache.ambari:ambari","purl":"pkg:maven/org.apache.ambari/ambari","source":"GHSA-q3pw-6vf2-66hf"}],"prev":{"headline":"mod_userdir CRLF injection","id":"CVE-2016-4975"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-03-29","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Misconfiguration in Apache Ambari","id":"CVE-2017-5642","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-03"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2014-3582","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-29"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari Improper Access Control","id":"CVE-2016-6807","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-03-28"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari: Remote Code Injection in Ambari Metrics and AMS Alerts","id":"CVE-2024-51941","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari: Code Injection Vulnerability in Ambari Alert Definition","id":"CVE-2025-23196","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-01-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Apache Ambari: authenticated users could perform command injection to perform RCE","id":"CVE-2023-50379","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-27"},{"cvss_score":8.1,"headline":"Information disclosure in Apache Ambari","id":"CVE-2018-8042","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-07-18"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CC BY 4.0","name":"GitHub Advisory Database","prefix":"GHSA"},{"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":"Local attackers can read KDC administrator passwords from process listings in Apache Ambari, exposing sensitive credentials.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4976/"}
