Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2016-5236 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. 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-2016-5236/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5236/index.md)","id":"CVE-2016-5236","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5236/index.md","name":"CVE-2016-5236","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-j6g8-4mwr-62cx"],"analysis":{"component_type":"web_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","security_bypass"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"F5 WebSafe Dashboard","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Privileged authenticated users can inject arbitrary web script or HTML in F5 WebSafe Dashboard when creating users, accounts, or signatures.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"xss"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"websafe_alert_server","vendor":"f5"}],"cvss":{"score":5.4,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/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 (XSS) vulnerabilities in F5 WebSafe Dashboard 3.9.5 and earlier, aka F5 WebSafe Alert Server, allow privileged authenticated users to inject arbitrary web script or HTML when creating a new user, account or signature.","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 n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5236","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"xss","year":"2016"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Privilege escalation in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5237"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5235"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2019-07-01","related":[{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"Code injection in F5 WebSafe Alert Server","id":"CVE-2018-5545","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-09-13"},{"cvss_score":6.1,"headline":"Cross-site scripting in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-5235","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-01"}],"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":"Privileged authenticated users can inject arbitrary web script or HTML in F5 WebSafe Dashboard when creating users, accounts, or signatures.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2016-5236/"}
