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-2016-4996 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Redhat Satellite. 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-2016-4996/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4996/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-4996","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4996/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-4996","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-jwrm-9f5g-qmp3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"Foreman discovery-debug","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local users can read the root password from system logs when ssh is enabled on discovered nodes, leading to potential privilege escalation.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"information_disclosure"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"redhat","cpe":[{"product":"satellite","vendor":"redhat"}],"cvss":{"score":7,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-255","name":null}],"description":"discovery-debug in Foreman before 6.2 when the ssh service has been enabled on discovered nodes displays the root password in plaintext in the system journal when used to log in, which allows local users with access to the system journal to obtain the root password by reading the system journal, or by clicking Logs on the console.","ecosystems":[],"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":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4996","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"redhat:satellite","products":["redhat:satellite"],"type":"information_disclosure","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4997"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Information disclosure in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-4995"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-07-14","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Puppet-foreman: an authentication bypass vulnerability exists in foreman","id":"CVE-2024-7012","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-04"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Puppet-pulpcore: an authentication bypass vulnerability exists in pulpcore","id":"CVE-2024-7923","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-09-04"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Foreman: excessive permissions for viewer role on preview","id":"CVE-2026-96659","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-01"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Foreman: arbitrary code execution through templates","id":"CVE-2023-0118","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-09-20"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in n/a","id":"CVE-2008-2369","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2008-08-14"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Foreman: foreman: arbitrary code execution via safemode sandbox bypass","id":"CVE-2026-96658","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-10-01"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Foreman: foreman: privilege escalation to administrator-level access via usergroup role assignment manipulation","id":"CVE-2026-5136","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2026-07-01"}],"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":"Local users can read the root password from system logs when ssh is enabled on discovered nodes, leading to potential privilege escalation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-4996/"}
