An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5078 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Paessler PRTG before 16.2.24.4045. 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-2016-5078/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5078/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5078","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5078/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5078","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-wr5g-cx29-42h3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","account_takeover"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network monitoring software","requires_auth":"none","summary":"Attackers can inject malicious scripts via SNMP data in Paessler PRTG, potentially compromising user sessions or executing code.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"certcc","cpe":[{"product":"prtg_network_monitor","vendor":"paessler"}],"cvss":{"score":6.1,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/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":"Paessler PRTG before 16.2.24.4045 has XSS via SNMP.","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 Paessler PRTG before 16.2.24.4045","id":"CVE-2016-5078","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Integer overflow in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5080"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in Netikus EventSentry before 3.2.1.44","id":"CVE-2016-5077"},"products":["Paessler PRTG before 16.2.24.4045"],"published":"2017-04-10","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Paessler PRTG Network Monitor Local File Inclusion","id":"CVE-2018-19410","kev_date_added":"2025-02-04","published":"2018-11-21"},{"cvss_score":7.2,"headline":"Paessler PRTG Network Monitor OS Command Injection","id":"CVE-2018-9276","kev_date_added":"2025-02-04","published":"2018-07-02"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-10374","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-03-30"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Paessler PRTG Network Monitor Cross-Site Scripting Authentication Bypass Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2023-51630","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2024-02-08"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2023-31452","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2023-08-09"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19411","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-21"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Command injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-19204","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-11-12"}],"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 inject malicious scripts via SNMP data in Paessler PRTG, potentially compromising user sessions or executing code.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5078/"}
