Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim."},"fix_prompt":"Check this codebase for CVE-2016-5071 and fix it if it is affected.\n\nWhat it is: CVE-2016-5071 is a high-severity vulnerability in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2, published on 10 Apr 2017. Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5071 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2. 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-2016-5071/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5071/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5071","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5071/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5071","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j4v3-45w4-p3w3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"iot_embedded","fix_type":"no_fix_stated","impacts":["privilege_escalation","code_execution"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Sierra Wireless GX 440","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"The management web application runs with root privileges, allowing attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code on the device.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"aleos_firmware","vendor":"sierrawireless"}],"cvss":{"score":8.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-264","name":null}],"description":"Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2 execute the management web application as root.","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 Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5071","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"privilege_escalation","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Code injection in OXID eShop before 2016-06-13","id":"CVE-2016-5072"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5070"},"products":["Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2"],"published":"2017-04-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5065","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5066","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Auth bypass in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5068","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Information disclosure in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5069","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-10"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Hardcoded credentials in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5070","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-10"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in Sierra Wireless GX 440 devices with ALEOS firmware 4.3.2","id":"CVE-2016-5067","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-10"}],"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":"The management web application runs with root privileges, allowing attackers to escalate privileges and execute arbitrary code on the device.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5071/"}
